Hi Everyone After being observed at around 8:30a.m. today feeding over Mud Lake/Britannia Conservation Area the swallow was again sighted off Britannia Point at the Britannia Filtration Plant. Unfortunately the swallow was not cooperative and was only observed briefly a few times. I left the area around 2:00p.m. and have not heard of any subsequent sightings. There were a large number of swallows in the area, 500+ and hopefully the Violet-green Swallow is still in the area. I think early morning is best to search for the swallow before the day's temperature rises and the swallows disperse. If anyone observes the swallow please post your sighting. Good luck, Bruce
