Hi all --

We have had about the same success (or lack of it) in the Dismal Swamp --
heard but not seen Swainson's. However, we have had better luck seeing them
at the Alligator River NWR, just inland from Manteo, NC -- well-decribed in
Fussell's book. Also seen were Red-cockaded WP and Black Bear!! (Red Wolf is
also present but rarely seen).

Another good site is the Vicksburg National Battlefield, in Mississippi, if
your travels take you near there.

Cheers, Gail Mackiernan
