Recently at a local park we saw the biggest flock of swallows I have ever seen! It was really fun to watch them.

That is a large flock. We have never seen a swallow in person. Nice pictures. Hugs
Nice photos. Don't know if I've ever seen them in person either. Have enjoyed watching a Robin in a tug of war with a string I have tied around a shrub.

I agree, very nice. :) Quite a gang of them there, that's for sure!
What a sight! Nice photos that brightened up my day...
Wonderful photos, it is fun to watch the swallows. Nice sighting!
How very neat! L
What a nice sight. I saw them come through like this 2 years ago.
Wow that is a lot of swallows!
We get swallows in small groups, but never in huge flocks like this. How lucky that you were there to capture it all. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I usually only see large numbers when they are getting ready to leave us in the autumn.
Great capture of these lovely birds. I have them here, they nest in my bird houses. I also have purple finches such as you have on your blog header, they are right outside my window now eating sunflower seeds.
Always fun to stop in here to view your offerings. Thanks for sharing.
I have never seen so many swallows in one place before!
Nice flock of swallows but not near the trees. Have they just arrived from migration?
Looks like you are being invaded. Nice shots.
I think the swallows had just arrived from the south and so many of them were in a small area on the ground, so there must have been something there they really needed after their long flight, it was a sandy rocky area, so not sure what they were eating.
I enjoy watching swallows, they kind of remind me of acrobats!
I hope you have a wonderful and enjoyable Easter!
Just gorgeous!!
Here's my critters post. Have a nice Easter celebration.
Oh, what fun!

oh how neat! we don't have that kind of swallow in this area. just barn swallows. nice series of pics!
We seldom see them on the ground but in the evenings here in the late spring they dive for bugs, which I love to watch!
What a huge flock. Great shots!
Nice shots. We only have mud swallows here. Thanks for visiting my camera critters posting.
Looks like your park is going to have a bumper year for tree swallows. Nice pics.
Happy Easter! Love the photos! Impressive display.
I love to watch swallows -- that is a very large flock of them.
Amazing size of the flock! Great shots. Thanks for visiting.
We don't have that kind around here.
