kathyjoy Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 What bird is this? I guessed mockingbird, swift, gnatcatcher that doesn't fly often- but I think all are wrong; the birds were sitting mostly. the long wings throw me off. Any idea? Los Gatos, California, near a lake and stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their feet are only capable of clinging to vertical surfaces. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that being so, the long wings were a clue for swallow. I like that last shot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
