I made the short walk to the Chagrin River this afternoon at Jackson Field hoping to see the bank swallows nesting in the embankment/cliff across the river. There were none anywhere. I think the young would have fledged by now. But, there should have been some swallows there had then been nesting. The dirt/clay face of the cliff didn't have many holes in it compared to past years. And, the faces of the cliff looked very crumbly. They weren't as smooth as they have been in past years.

Did anyone go to this location over the past few months? 
There was only one eBird checklist with bank swallows this summer. It was dated June 14 and reported 8 of the birds.
