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.
