Hi Everyone The Cave Swallow found by Michelle and Paul Martin was still present from 1630 to 1647 over the field opposite the church at Wolf Grove Road and Ramsay Con. 8. The swallow spent most of its time low over the field at eye level and occainally would rise up high. The last time we observed it, the swallow was over the spruce trees at the church. This represents the 3rd record for the Ottawa 50 km District and the first record for Lanark County. The first Ottawa record was on November 3,2012 at Bate Island at the Champlain Bridge followed by the second occurrence on November 23 and 24, 2012 at Constance Bay. Directions: From Ottawa take Hwy 417 west to March Road. After existing for March Road to Almonte and continue to the intersection of Wolf Grove and Ramsay Con. 8. The swallow was last observed feeding over the field opposite the church before moving over to the spruce trees.
