Index of Subjects Hi Ian I didn't give chase to the swallow because I thought I'd pick it up again later over the sports complex (where often most will end up). I didn't get a chance to view it again. It came in off the water/islands and moved rapidly to the west feeding as it went. I keep checking the buntings because I've lern't you never know what's arround unless you study what's in front of you. Take nothing for granted!! As for a B&B there is one here in town its the Located @1309 Union Street "Whitman Wharf House B&B" run by Elizabeth Measures 366-2450 It's beside the Whitman House Museam.
