While searching for resident Canada Goose nests along the tidal basin of the
Anacostia River between the Lower Kingman and Heritage islands today (April
17) afternoon, a colleague pointed to a flying swallow and asked if she was
seeing a Barn Swallow. A closer look, revealed it to be a Cliff Swallow
mixed in with a foraging flock of Tree and Northern Rough-winged Swallows.
