I had a single Bank Swallow feeding over the Potomac at the ferry crossing at Poolesville, Sunday morning. It only made a single pass through, however. Incidentally, this is in my atlas block and I don't think I have seen one there before.
Swifts are known for travelling long distances to get to good feeding sources, but I always thought swallows and their allies foraged a bit closer to where they nested.

idea on where they were coming from?

fallen tree in the channel opposite the Double-crested Cormorant rookery
where they beak-fed 2 juveniles.
