Other than no swallows, we also do not have any Red-winged Blackbirds here
in Twin Lakes right now. I have noticed for years, that they seem to
disappear from Lake Lorene right after the breeding season. Some will
reappear in the fall. I have always wondered where they spend their summer.
Feeding on cherries and grapes in Eastern Washington maybe? Does anybody
have any idea where they go?

Thanks and good birding!
