Chuck Henrikson’s Birding Report From UW–Madison Arboretum
“The rain and warming weather had produced a huge hatch of insects. I don’t know what kind they were but the birds loved them. There were over 50 Chimney Swifts (I normally only see a handful flying over the Arb) and large numbers of Barn and Tree Swallows too. They were flying through the swarms and having a feast. I’m sure they all took naps that afternoon. It was an amazing sight. The bluebirds were picking the insects off the branches of a snag. Today was the best day of the past week.” Read Chuck’s Weekly Birding Report #26.
