With all the talk about large groups of Barn Swallows staging for
migration, I think it is noteworthy that my last clutch of Barn Swallows
in the barn fledged yesterday Sept 8.  All four are flying around in the
barn and still being fed by the adults. The latest fledge date for my
barn by about 10-12 days (previous late date was Aug 28).
