Before lunch Rowan and I walked down to the lake to see if Rowan could get photos of the Northern rough-winged swallows that have been around.
We got down there and saw that both of the Northern rough-winged swallows were down there with some Tree swallows. We watched them they around for a bit then they both landed on a couple of wires. We quickly walked over to take photos of them sitting on the wires. I excitedly got into a good position and got some good photos of them. While they were on the wires I heard them call some, they sounded a bit different than the Tree swallows. They sat there on the wires for a few minutes preening then they flew off. After that we walked up to look for a Snipe. On our way back down to the peninsula, after not being able to find a Wilson’s snipe for Rowan to photograph, a Snipe flew out of some grass. It flew around for a bit then it looked like it land at the upper end of the lake. We walked back down then headed home.
