Birders,
I'm following up on Andy Birch's report of large numbers of swallows
and swifts at the L.A.River in the Burbank-Glendale-Silver Lake area.
Early this morning Jeff Boyd and I had a good number of these species
in a limited area at Long Beach Willow St, mainly north of the bridge.
When we arrived there were 300+ Cliff Swallows resting on the west
wall of the river. They would periodically leave the wall to create
clouds of birds joined by 90 Vaux's Swifts, 35 or so White-throated
Swifts, plus small numbers of Rough-winged and Barn Swallows.
