As Sean predicted, Alexis Lameck and I saw 4 Cave Swallows at 7 AM today in the exact same location, the Coney Island boardwalk between 23rd and 24th Streets. They flew away, only to return a few minutes later, this time providing great looks at eye level as they flew into the space below the outdoor dining area of the senior center. They flew off again at 7:15 AM. When I left at 7:30, they had not returned, but it seems that this little flock has an affinity for this location.

It's worth mentioning the birds were thoroughly investigating underneath the decking of the senior center bordering the Coney Island boardwalk between 24th and 23rd streets. Just before I left I watched 4 birds fly under and only 2 come out. Although I didn't stay till dark if there are birders who weren't able to catch up with these birds today, first light at this location might be a good place to start tomorrow.
