Hi Tweeties!

While walking around the "Old Swimming Hole" at W. Meeker &
Kent-DesMoines Roads I encountered a father and daughter fishing.....or
at least trying to catch fish.

I pointed out the ducks to the little girl. She now knows how to ID a
female WOOD DUCK and mallards. Neither father or daughter knew what
swallows are! I had to point out the swallows swooping and diving for
bugs.

"Dad" made a weird comment. He thought the swallows swooping around the
golf course were "attacking" the golfers as they swoop and turn just in
the nick of time in front of the golfers. I assured him they are only
going after flying bugs.

Have swallows ever collided with people?
