Update, 4:30 PM phone call from Paul Lehman:
A Cave Swallow was relocated by 2:30; between 2:30 and 3:30 or so, at least 2 Cave Swallows were seen several times from the hawk watch by Vince Elia, Richard Crossley, Paul and others. After 3:30, the high wind and chill discouraged the swallows (and birders). Only ten or so Tree Swallows are still in the area, making it easier to search for "different" swallows.

Thanks to Chris and Paul for providing this alert.
