A full report of our observations of the Cave Swallow at VIMS yesterday is
posted:

The page includes photos of the bird when it was alive and after it died.
I hope this report and photos can serve to document the record for VARCOM.
I have made arrangements with W&M's CCB to transfer the specimen to their
collection.
This is a rare bird in VA, but we may just be observing something similar
to what has been documented at Cape May:
