is Oct. 27, with three Oct. 25 records.  The latest Tree Swallow record is
Nov. 4.  Both of these records could be broken.  Mild weather is due next
week.


On the way back from Virginia today we stopped and walked along the C&O
across from Harpers Ferry. We saw several swallows out there feeding on the
river but did not get very great looks at any of them. They appeared to be a
mix of tree and rough-winged, but I wouldn't venture any positive ID. There
were quite a few of them, so swallow season isn't over.
