Swallows and the Spring
By
Tree Swallows have been back in Vancouver for the better part of a week now (others had seen them even earlier), and yesterday at Iona Beach they were in pitched battle for ownership of the nest boxes.
I know that one swallow doesn’t make a summer, but the chitters and alternating blue and white flashes of Tree Swallows surely make a beautiful spring afternoon.

What a difference a year makes…last year at this time you were welcoming Lucy’s Warblers, Bell’s Vireos, and Common Black-Hawks! It’s nice to “hear the same joy in your voice” as you welcome spring in BC.
