Sitting on my back porch this morning, I was treated to a huge mixed flock of Violet-green Swallows and Vaux Swifts. I haven't seen such a flock from the yard in many years.

I noticed Violet-green Swallows playing over the shoreline of Lake Washington yesterday, again way more than have been present there for a good number of years.

It was a good day.
