There were LOTS of Rough winged Swallows on wires W of Mosquito Lake, on Mahan-Denman Rd near Park Ave Ext.

also in wires on Park Ave. Ext. - Trumbull Co.    

  Swarming around the wires juggling for positions on the wires and swooping the fields for insects.    My partner estimated over 1,500.     (Measuring the distance - times 3 wires  - being very scientific)

There sure were enough flying Flies to satisfy all those Swallows.     
  Doubling back there were less on the Mahan-Denman wires but still alot.    Mud flats at the north end of the lake have lush green vegetation growing  but I could still see Crows walking.
