Swallows can drive birders crazy but occasionally they do sit still and not swoop madly about. I stopped by the Muskegon Wastewater last Friday on my way to Townsend and discovered (I have no idea WHY) hundreds and hundreds of tree swallows hanging out in the middle of the road north of the east lagoon. Hundreds. I drove slowly and they would fly out of harm's way but only at the last minute. The "white tertial tips" of fall adults and juveniles were very evident.
