[EBB Sightings] Barn Swallow

INteresting this is so early; likewise, the thought that the orange
butterflies recently seen by Kay L. were thought to most likely be Painted
Lady, which normally show up en masse around Easter, so this too is early -
potents of what? Since I thought the barn swallows came from parts north of
here ? Help  me on this Hugh; Painted Ladies definitely come up from the
south, though, or else I'd say we're in for a warmer season if the plants
down south are already drying out. Does this make sense sort of ? We're
still waiting for Kay to look again for confirmation on which butterflies
she saw; so this is a little premature of me to conjecture, I guess

cheers!
