The morning did start cloudy and we had dry weather , but we did end with rain and a wet car...uhhh inside.
But we saw some good birds and we did see a lot of blue and white Swallows resting in the rain on a electric wire, and guess what.... a great tailed Grackle did see them also and grab (probably an immature Swallow) from the line, it was a "national Geografic" moment for us....
