The Barn Swallow continues to be seen today on the NH Coast. It seems
to be alternating between North Hampton State Beach and the neighborhood
(and beach) off Old Beach Road in Rye. 2.7 miles north of North Hampton
State Beach!! I thought it had to be a different bird, but it seems
clear through comparison photos that this bird is the same and it seems
to be working back and forth between these locations. The bird seems to
be missing a primary in its left wing:

It should be noted that (according to eBird) there are only two other
New England records for December. One from Hampton, NH on 12/1/05
(O'Shaughnessy) and another from 12/7/12 from Joppa Flats in Newburyport
(Sullivan). So this ties the eBird late date for all of New England!
