Violet-green Swallow B (Tachycineta thalassina) (??) in Flight -- or is this a Northern Rough Wing?
The morning insect hunt, from perches in the lonely valley oak near Road F and Trail 15. Apologies if these are not in sharp focus: I was lucky to even get the bird in the frame! This is the same swallow as in the previous image, the one labeled Swallow B. It could be the same or different from Swallow A. Near the lonely valley oak on Road F, 7:51:48 am: B. I originally identified this as a Violet-green Swallow (Tachycineta thalassina). Phil Leighton writes: "You might check Northern Rough Wing Swallow for your flying swallow. The Violet Green Swallow should have bright white, with a clear edge extending above the eye as can be seen on your perched swallow." So I am providing Phil and you all, these many views, of the same and different swallows.
