Park Walk And Swallows

This morning after I had gotten to dad’s I went down to the park.

It was very windy down there, I had to walk into it. I walked along the beach with the wind in my face. I looked in the forest where Rowan had said that she had seen a bird nest. While I was looking at the nest a feather floated down from a tree behind me I turned around and looked up into the trees to see if I could see where it came from. I looked around up at the trees for a while but I was unable to find where it came from so I walked down to the end of the park. I walked back out on the beach at the end of the park. I walked along the shore line and saw the brants were still around, along with a few sandpipers. I looked through the gulls that were there then I walked back to the trail back along the top of the beach. I saw a friend and we talked for a bit then I went home.

After I had been home for a while dad sent me text saying that there was a cliff swallow down at the lake, so I got ready and left for the lake.

The traffic was pretty bad so I had to wait a few minutes before I could cross the road.

Once I got to the lake I walked up along the lake to by where I saw dad standing. I got my camera and looked through my binoculars to see where the cliff swallow was. I would find the cliff swallow then I would loss it. While I was trying to get photos of the cliff swallow I saw another swallow that did not look right. I was able to get some photos of it and saw that it was a violet-green swallow. I went over and told dad that there was a violet-green swallow, I continued to try and get photos of both. It was quite tricky though because it was quite windy out there and they were flying around a lot and were flying quite fast. I did manage to get some photos of both the violet-green swallow and the cliff swallow though. I tried for quite a while but eventually I decided to go back home when dad did. I’m glad that I was able to go and see the cliff and violet-green swallows down at the lake.
