Observation details
High counts. I did my best to count individually. At one point there were 17 perched in a tree (see group pics attached). While these 17 were perched there were at least 10 more flying (potentially more so this is a conservative estimate). This is more rough-winged swallows than I've ever seen at one time. Incredible day for swallows (this morning I had huge numbers of bank swallows at Berway Farm). The flight was feeding over the CT river at dusk at this location 43.8918501, -72.1566924. I accessed via kayak. Photos included.
