I am a participant in the North Dakota Audubon Society Birding Hotline. When I heard that someone saw a barn swallow I went out to look and sure enough. There were 3 of them on the wire and a fourth came in for a landing as I watched. I keep yearly frcords of my first barnswallows.
In 2000 I saw my first barnswallow on April 26th
In 1999 I saw them first on May 5th
In 1998 I saw them first on May 2nd
In 1997 I saw them first on May 6th
In 1996 I saw them first on May 14th
In 1995 I saw them first on May 12th
In 1994 I saw them first on May 9th
In 1993 I saw them first on May 7th
In 1992 I saw them first on May 7th
I see in my book that the daffodills are in full bloom at the same time I see the barn swallows each year.
In 1991 I didn't live at the same address
In 1990 I saw them first on May 4th
In 1989 I saw them first on May 9th.
