Is it early for Violet Green Swallows? (1 Viewer)

It's Good Friday and I've lived here just one year. I do remember the Violet Green Swallows + others during the late Spring and Summer last year, I don't remember them being here this early.

Do I believe my memory or my lying eyes? (they are so fast, it's hard to get a good look at them, but the day is brightly lit, and they are flashing white, teal and violet at me).
 
I think they very well could be Violet-green Swallows. We are getting the similar Tree Swallows here in Saint Joseph for the last several days.
 
They are just lovely, but very fast. I finally have a reasonable lens coming next week, and I'll take ten thousand photos, to get one good one. They really are stunning, when they're standing still.
