Today I floated about 4 hours of Armuchee Creek north of Rome.   No
spectacular finds.  I checked out four large bridges, no cliff swallows
but many barns.
 
What's the deal on North GA. bank swallows?   Have they ever been found
nesting in GA?   I saw a pair of brown swallows, very similar to
rough-wings, flying over a section of very rural creek today.  They
repeated flew toward a particular steep bank and when I arrived there,
there was a small hole in the bank, towards the top, smaller than a
kingfisher's.  I did not have a book for ID, and was leading a group of
school kids and could not slow down.  It was very interesting.  If it
sounds particularly intriguing to anyone I may go back and check it out.

--many, many white-eyed vireos
