Today Fresh Pond Ranger Jean Rogers and I put up 11 of the Reservation's 15 Tree Swallow boxes. The boxes are always taken down in the fall for cleaning and winter storage. As we were putting up a box on the hillside behind Neville Place, we heard a twittering sound, and looked up to see about 6 Tree Swallows circling overhead, the first we have seen this year. A few minutes later we were putting up a box in another location, and noticed about the same number of swallows right overhead. Apparently they were following us! As we passed by other boxes that we had already put up, we noticed swallows already inspecting them.
