Field Notes

Description:

On the American River we struck an aviary treasure chest. There were hundreds of birds enjoying the cool weather and fast currents. There were hundreds of these very fast swallows zooming around. I tried to catch them, but this was the best I could get. What type of swallows are they? Barn? Cliff? There are cliffs along the river.

Tree Swallow is only your first two photos, the last two photos are a separate species and should be put into a different spotting. Will check on the ID while you do so :)
