Today at the Rosetta McClain Gardens Hawk Watch in Scarborough, BIGFRANK, myself, and a few others observed a number of swallows flying overhead heading west. Because of the overcast conditions today a positive ID at the park was not possible but thanks to our good friend Ann and her trusty camera, photos were taken and then later used to get the birds ID'ed 100% by a few 'more experienced' birders than ourselves. As we thought, they were Cave Swallows. As reported on ONTBIRDS (over the last couple of days), Cave Swallows are currently being seen all along the shorelines of Lakes Ontario and Erie.
Also seen this morning were several small flocks of Eastern Bluebirds heading westward along the lakeshore.
