This morning (10:00am) while birding the north end of LaDue Reservoir (the pull-out closest to the dam on Valley Road) I watched a single swallow working over the water on the east side of the reservoir. Even though I had my spotting scope cranked up to 60x I could only make out that it was a dark swallow - no details. However, it did NOT have a white belly. It was flying north-to-south but I never saw it again as I continued south on Valley Road, stopping twice more before 11:00am. I wouldn't dare call it anything more than a swallow, but if it comes closer to Valley Road someone else would be the lucky viewer of a rare swallow (Cave). Good Luck.
