They swarmed at low height, feeding I suppose, and occasionally landing in one of the wild cherry trees. Mixed in were several Barn Swallows and Tree Swallows. Later that evening, on a country road near the house, were ~ 100 of the latter perched on telephone wires. It`s that time of year again. A few nights ago, I got a Green Heron as new yard bird.
