Hi guys,

Here's a varied bunch of swallows and maybe martin's.

Tell me what y'all think. Hoping for a Cuban Martin in between, maybe the fourth in the first set, but given the month I doubt I am that lucky.

Best,

I do not think any of them look like a Progne to me. Check ebird for year round occurrence, I would expect the CuMa to be migrated south at that time

Thanks for your suggestions!

There is only one accepted October record of CUMA. So Niels is probably right that I was too late.

Ah, yes. the bird you are referring to Rafael has been accepted as a Chimney Swift, on the basis of many photos that i have. That one just slipped.
