Birders, Mr. Jacob Kanagy, the host of the adult male Rufous Hummingbird near Shreve, Wayne Co., told me that there was an active Barn Swallow nest near there as well last week. In Michigan, where I have most of my experience, I would not expect Barn Swallows to be on nests later than early August as they start flocking during that month, and are very rare anywhere in the state after late September.

Mike Hershberger was there Sunday and saw the nest with the young. According to the home owner they hatched last week. I don't know what the latest nesting record is for Ohio, but I would guess these guys would beat it easily. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
