I took my dog for his afternoon swim in the SY River at Alisal rd where this time of year it's normal to have 6-8 Northern Rough-winged Swallows flitting around. Today with a light rain falling I had an estimated 50. There were 38 sitting on a wire and another 10-15 still in the air. It was quite a sight to see them working up and down the river low over the water. Lehman's "Birds of SBCo" makes reference to these larger numbers occurring in spring during inclement weather, so it was today.
