Just some of the thousands of Bank Swallows near the Springfield Fish Hatchery this afternoon.

Hundreds of them on the wires, in the trees and flying around today at Springfield Ponds. Then thousands of them near the Springfield Fish Hatchery—on the power lines, on the road and flying around over the water. Fall migration starting?

Thx Tom……. birding that part of the state (LRGV) has become a weird experience over the years. Missy and I were there a few years ago and I believe it will be our last attempt, sadly

I don’t normally post things about the Rio Grande, since I am content to bird my own river. But this item seemed too strange to ignore. Here’s a link to a story about the side effects of a border wall: https://netargv.com/2018/07/26/texas-may-forfeit-bentsen-state-park-to-feds-for-border-wall/ .
