KeleeEiselein Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 We have recently had a return of these long winged and tailed fliers in southwestern coastal Oregon... they remind me of swallows but I’m not sure what kind... I just captured two quick videos of one trying to get into the venting of the house next door... not sure they are clear enough for a good identification, but thought I’d try!! Thank you??? 1A051089-87DC-42F2-8CDF-465724C960AC.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 These are Tree/Violet Green Swallows. I think they are violent green, but I can't tell for certain from the video. Violet green have bright white faces and white extending onto their back on the rump area. I will attach links for both speceies, and tell me which one you think it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
