I was at 7 Islands Wildlife Refuge in Knox Co. yesterday evening from 6:15 - 
7:50 pm. I saw my first Barn Swallows of the season and was buzzed closely by a 
few Purple Martins on the riverside trail near the bench (not the bench by 
Steamboat Island). I believe these are my first Martins here--i've never seen 
any around the gourd nests. At one point 2 Martins and 5 Rough-winged Swallows 
were perched together on a dead tree hanging over the river--would have made a 
nice picture.

Purple Martin - 3
Barn Swallow - 2
Northern Rough-winged Swallow - 5+
Tree Swallow - 100+

Osprey - 1
Northern Harrier - 1
Red-tailed Hawk - 1
Double-crested Cormorant - 27 (V formation)
