The swallows were sitting on the nest boxes, and looked very cold, as you can see ... their feathers are all puffed up.

On Saturday afternoon, I saw about 100 tree swallows near Carleton Place and later, a few near Barrhaven, so I dropped by the FWG hoping to see some there, but without success, so I was happy to hear of Diane's observations for today, Monday. (Christine)
