Mark Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 This fellow was on Medina Annex at Lackland AFB here in San Antonio this past Sunday morning. I know from the years I was stationed there in the past, that around this time of year the swallows start showing back up there. I am fairly positive it is a Purple Martin, but just want to make sure. Wasn't able to get any pics of him or his little buddy he was flying with. But in flight, the swallow tail was obvious and their underside was white. Juvenile Purple Martins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It looks like a Barn Swallow, but who knows what it really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I don’t think it matters too much at what it this is ID’d as, as this is from 2 years ago and the member who posted this last visited in April 2020 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The long tail IDs it as a Barn Swallow, and an adult male at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
