Barn Swallow, Field Sparrow, Drenched Eagle!

New arrivals: Barn Swallow (3/31), Tree Swallow (4/1), Field Sparrow (3/31 - we didn't have any in the yard this winter).

Arrival Data for Barn Swallow:
29-Mar-05
31-Mar-07
04-Apr-06
13-Apr-03
14-Apr-04
15-Apr-00

Also, I observed a young Bald Eagle atop on of the power towers. The bird was drying his wings like a cormorant or vulture after being caught in a thundershower (i.e., outstretched to catch the wind & sun). Something I hadn't observed before.

Good Birding!
