This morning I walked to the lake to see what was there. It was raining on my way there, but it wasn’t raining very hard.
On my was to the lake I heard a woodpecker but I didn’t see it.
I got to the lake and saw that the swallows were perched on a wire, but before I could get my camera out most of the swallows the Northern rough-winged included started flying around the lake. I walked over and stood just off to the side of the road and stayed there for the majority of the time I was at the lake. I happily watched one of the Northern rough-winged swallows fly around quite close to me then the second one showed up. They flew around for quite a while then I walked over and smelled the Willow that was by me. It smelled like a green plant. I continued to stand there feeling the rain fall on my while I watched the Rough-winged swallows fly around. Eventually one of them landed on a wire and I was able to get some photos of it. I then walked home.
