Dear All

Slightly belatedly I wanted to report seeing a group of about 70 swallows 
at Great Falls last saturday 4th March. They weere in a tall kettle over 
the centre of the rapid viewed from the viewing platform by the car park on 
the Maryland side and with poior light were difficult to see any detail 
on.  I presume that they must have been Tree Swallows.

More up to date.  I read the report of Tundra Swans at 7.30 over Silver 
Spring yesterday evening and a few hours later, just as I had got into bed 
and switched out the light I heard a reasonable sized group come over our 
house (Van Ness, NW DC).  By the time I had realised what was going on, got 
up and got the window open they were out of sight but still audible.  They 
were very low and my guess would be about 30-40 birds.  

Just hope for more for our office list....

Cheers

Gary
