Went to Griffy Lake and saw my first Northern Rough-winged Swallow of the year (year bird number 114) along with many Tree Swallows. Having seen Cliff Swallow yesterday, I'm up to three swallow species for the year. Surprisingly, I haven't seen Barn Swallow or Purple Martin, despite reports of them being around. Bank Swallows, which would be a new Indiana state bird, should be here soon also.
