Hello Vermont Birders:

If anyone is interested in point blank views of Cliff Swallows, Hinesburg
is a sure bet right now. From Route 116, at the light at Lantman's grocery
store, turn onto the Charlotte Road. The first left is Green Street.
Immediately after turning onto Green Street, watch the muddy puddles on the
right. They are coming here (five or six at a time) every few minutes right
now.

Last year they nested on the side of the fire house. I'm guessing that is
where they are taking the mud. My guess is it will take a few more days.

Here is a photo of their dirty faces:

Good birding,
