My barn swallow returned to his established nest (in my barn) this morning - which is quite early for him here in Lodi. Usually I see them around May 7th or so. He really looked exhausted -- must have taken the red-eye in from wherever he wintered over. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
