Return of the Swallows


St. Joseph's Day and the swallows return to San Juan Capistrano. A few scouts arrive early and there are always some stragglers, but more often than not flocks and flocks actually come back on March 19th.
As a child I found this fascinating and one year we got to go to and watch the birds wheeling and dipping and dancing in the sky above the old Mission. It's one of those memories that will never fade.
