I visited the Bank Swallow Colony again on Lidge Dr. in Farmingville and the birds were quite active. Had a little success with photography though they still prove to be faster than me! The colonies all seemed active and will be able to fledge there young before construction at the site resumes. In addition, the Eastern Kingbird nest at Brookhaven Town Hall had a bird still sitting on eggs. For photos of the swallows, see my post: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2011/06/bank-swallows.html
