Observation details
**Very rare; represents 6th NJ / 5th Cape May Co. record. Found around 08:05 at Coral Ave by A. Place et al; I first saw it at hawkwatch around 08:21. Slightly smaller and slimmer than TRES, with paler face, more extensive white on rump, shorter tail, narrower wings, more rapid/fluttery wingbeats. Seen a few times through early afternoon, always with TRES flock. The main swallow flock never came close to platform during mid/late afternoon. Photos.
