This evening I spent some time hastily checking areas around Long Point hoping to relocate some of the Cave Swallows reported earlier in the day. I didn't make
it to Old Cut, but I did check Big Creek Marsh and Hasting's Drive where I failed to spot a single one. In a last ditch effort I checked Port Rowan harbour since it's a bit more sheltered and right away I spotted two swallows feeding overhead. This was around 6:00 p.m. so there wasn't much light left but they did have square tails, buffy rumps, pale throats, and a cap-like appearance. They were not moving west and seemed to vanish around 6:30. I suspect they might spend the night in one of the boat houses down there so it might be worth a check in the morning. Directions: From Highway 59 head east on the Front Road into Port Rowan.The harbour is on the right.
