Observation details
This was an amazingly large group of swallows that were flying over Ocklawaha river and perching on small trees in prairie. We photographed some of the trees with perched swallows. Soon thereafter a hawk flew over and the swallows flew off in a dark cloud like group. At times the TRSW got very close to boat and us, we felt like we could grab one. Great experience! We estimate 500 based on seeing the large group fly off together during hawk encounter.
