I made a trip to Breezy around noon in search of Cave Swallows and perhaps a Franklin Gull (where did they go?). There was one obvious Cave Swallow just a short way up the 4WD road from the parking lot that gave brief but good looks. Then, closer to the beach, there was a sizable flock (20-30) of what looked all like Tree Swallows. I took a number of photos of these birds as they were moving back and forth over the road. Back home looking at the photos there were some Cave Swallows mixed in - perhaps one in four birds was a Cave Swallow.
