Flock swallows refers to a behavior exhibited by swallows, particularly during migration or feeding, where they gather in large groups or flocks. These birds, known for their agile flight and graceful aerial maneuvers, often form flocks to enhance foraging efficiency and provide safety in numbers against predators. This social behavior is commonly observed in species like the barn swallow and the cliff swallow, especially during the warmer months when they are more active.
The possessive plural of flocks would be flocks'; the apostrophe following the s.
In the evening, swallows often gather in large flocks to roost in trees, shrubs, or other sheltered locations. They may also seek out water bodies where they can find insects to feed on before settling down for the night. This communal roosting behavior helps provide safety from predators and allows them to conserve warmth as they rest.
Swallows eat insects. They catch them as they fly.

Swallow migration refers to the seasonal movement of swallows between their breeding and non-breeding grounds. Swallows are known for their long-distance migrations, with some species traveling thousands of miles between their summer breeding grounds and wintering areas. They often migrate in large flocks and rely on celestial cues and geographical landmarks to navigate their way.

Tree Swallows flock together when not nesting with is 9 months out of the year. The flocks can be in the hundreds, thousands or even millions. The breeding season is from mid March to mid April. The clutch of 4-7 eggs takes 13-16 days to incubate, and the babies live the nest 16-24 days after hatching. There may be 1 or 2 broods each season. Flocking would run from Mid June until the next breeding season in mid March.
The members of a population may be small or hard to find. Indirect observation is when it would be easier to observe what the animals left behind, like a nest or tracks, rather than the organism themselves. Ex: If there are 120 nests in an area, you can find the number of swallows by multiplying 120 by , or 480 swallows.
