Once again, check out Claudia Wilds' marvelous book for some ideas 
about where at the Dismal Swamp to look for Swainson's Warbler.

According to the 1987 edition of Virginia's Birdlife: An Annotated 
Checklist:

"Locally common summer resident  (15 Apr-5 Sep) in Dismal Swamp and 
neighboring areas to the east; rare transient elsewhere..."

If you track them down, let us know!
