Early arrival--first Tree Swallow of the year

I was very surprised to see a Tree Swallow swooping along the Arkansas River near Canon City late this afternoon. This is an early date for this species to be migrating through here (they don't stay around the Canon City area but move through on their way to their mainly higher elevation breeding areas in Colorado's mountains and foothill areas).

This bird seemed to be making feeding swoops in a rather frenetic manner--possible having to make more attempts due to low numbers of flying insects as today was rather chilly with a high only in the 40's and a brisk wind that would disperse their prey.
