Cave Swallows at Ocean Isle Beach, NC



This afternoon from 2 pm to 3 pm I watched a flock of at least 11 Cave Swallows flying over the east end of Ocean Isle Beach. They were foraging over the intracoastal waterway and an adjacent housing development. The Cave Swallows stayed together as a loose group but numerous Tree Swallows were also in the area and would cruise through at times. To reach the area turn right at the end of 904 on the island, go about two miles (taking the right fork on the way as the road curves to the right) to a housing development on the right side of the road.
