Cliff Swallows!

If you have not had the opportunity to see a Cliff Swallow, then you must get to Mountsberg (a Conservation Halton park). There is a plethora of Cliff Swallows nesting along the barns. It's amazing how many there are and all so close together! Definitely worth the trip (plus Mountsberg is just a really amazing spot in general. A great family outing!).
In other news, a pair of Bluebirds has returned to the yard (no idea if it's the same pair from a month or so ago) and are using the nesting box. Here's hoping we have some Bluebird babies again this year!
and just as I hit "publish" I had to go back in to add that there's a Blackpoll Warbler in the yard! First sighting this year. Nice way to end a beautiful day!
