Birds are cool Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The first photo shows 2 barn swallows, and the second photo also shows 2 barn sqallows but the swallow in the bottom right of the third photo is a bank swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you say bank? The breast band can vary considerably. It’s there. That’s not a twig, it goes down the middle of the breast. The rest of the breast is clean white and there is a noticeable delineation from the cold brown in the face to the white below it. It’s just too cold and clean on the face/head/breast for NRWS in my opinion. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The throat has a sharp contrast to the rest of the head 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
