About 30 years ago, when training on Otsego Lake for the Clinton Regatta on a cold, rainy day in mid-April, we were surrounded by thousands and thousands of tree swallows feeding. They were so focused on eating that they were largely oblivious of us. We could probably have smacked them with our paddles. We didn't of course.

We have many pairs of tree swallows already, for about 10 days. Barn swallows tend to arrive a little later to our barn. There used to be many cliff swallows on the eaves of barns, but the last few years I haven’t seen them.
