FL Tree Swallows? (1 Viewer)

I was in Weston, southern FL last week and went around the Everglades, the Everglades National Park and Key Largo. The guide books all list Tree Swallows as winter residents, yet there was an abundance of them! So, are they perhaps those who remain behind or have that many moved south already?

Hi Beth,

Not sure of the definitive answer but a lot of the swallows have been forming up and leaving here over the last few weeks (connecticut) so I should thinks it's reasonable to imagine that you have them joining you back in Florida.

Beth,
I expect they are early arrivals. Last weekend I saw large flocks of Purple Martins that had just arrived in the Yucatan (also "winter" residents). I guess that time of the year has arrived.
