Tim Emmerzaal Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Would this be a juvenile barn swallow without the long forked tail? Shot in the beginning of July in Rochester, MN. There were a few Barn Swallows as well as Chimney Swifts. Edited August 4, 2020 by Tim Emmerzaal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird-Boys Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Its a young bird, as shown by the yellow gape and shorter tail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 On 8/4/2020 at 1:57 PM, Bird-Boys said: shorter tail Though it's shorter, the tail is still more deeply forked than any other regularly occurring swallow in the US and Canada. Throw in the buffy-orange under-tail coverts without dark central smudges and the barely discernible buff-orange wing linings, and there's just nothing else that this could be.
