Barn Swallow at Schoolhouse Pond.

Posted on by

I went for the change-up today, and went to Schoolhouse Pond in Upper Marlboro, followed by a stop at Governor Bridge. It wasn’t a barn burner, but I found a few good birds.

I spent some time looking for insects, also, and it was good to see they are coming out.
