Tweeters,?Kelly McAllister and I are again conducting an inventoryof nesting colonies of Bank Swallows in western Washington this year.? We?re interestedin obtaining breeding colony records in this half of the state from readers ofTweeters who haven't already posted their observations on eBird.? We?dlike to receive information on the locations of colonies (as exact as possibleso that we can visit the sites), as well as dates visited and numbers ofburrows counted for 2016 and any past years.? Data from past years willhelp inform us of how long specific sites have been occupied.? So far, nearlyall of our known colonies are located in the counties flanking the westernCascades, thus we?re especially interested in learning about sites present in Pacific,Wahkiakum, Grays Harbor, Mason, Kitsap, Jefferson, Clallam, Island, and SanJuan counties. ?Please contact me with your information at wilesharkey at yahoo.com.? Thanks for your help. ?Gary WilesOlympia, WAwilesharkey at yahoo.com
