Mangrove Swallow, Viera Wetlands (Brevard), photos. Accepted 7-0. Detailed manuscript of this first North American and Florida record. Smaller overall body size and shorter wings than Tree or Cave Swallows or several other similar swallow species. White supraloral stripe joining forehead patch is characteristic of both Mangrove and White-rumped swallows, but White-rumped larger and about the same size as Tree Swallows. Prominent spots on rump patch distinguish from White-rumped. Tertials prominently edged with white on both sides; white less extensive in White-rumped Swallow.
