There were lots of swallows over the marsh impoundments today. There were also many Blue-wing Teal and I saw five Canada Geese in a tree. I'm not sure if I have ever seen Canada Geese in a tree before. The Pine Warbler was in one of the pine trees along Campbell Rd. This is the road along the West side of the marsh impoundments.
