reports of Cattle Egrets and a maximum of four King Eiders. The local 
bird of the season was most assuredly the independent sightings of Cave 
Swallow from Braddock Bay and Hamlin Beach on 23 November by 
Dave Tetlow and Brett Ewald and John Bounds, respectively. These were 
a first record for the Region. They fit with record numbers of this species 
in the Midwest and Northeast this fall.
