Anne Waters reported a CAVE SWALLOW (of the SW or Mexican race) at
the Merry Bros. Brickyard Ponds (see “BIRDING GEORGIA” for
directions) near the top of a high clay mound off Mining Haul Rd. to
the SW. The bird was seen on Saturday, Dec. 14, but not relocated on
Sunday.

On the Macon CBC on Dec. 14 Ty Ivey reported 1 TUNDRA SWAN, 1
NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW and 1 CAVE SWALLOW from the Brickyard
Ponds (on private property).

Tim Keyes reported 2 possible CAVE SWALLOWS from the Cumberland
Island CBC on Sat. Dec. 14.

On Sunday Michael Beohm reported a single CAVE SWALLOW among the tree
swallows at the Altamaha WMA in McIntosh County. Directions: turn on
the main road beside the offices and go on past the big pond toward
the interstate bridge. You will see a fishing pier on the second big
lake, on the left-hand side of the road. Walk out this pier and look
toward the first grass island near the wood duck nest boxes.

All these CAVE SWALLOWS are of the Mexican/SW race.

This concludes the rare bird report for Tuesday December 17.
