Hello, can someone please help me ID these? The swallow is from San Joaquin Marsh Reserve and the songbird is from Morro Bay.

#1 should either be Tree or Violet-green Swallow (VGSW). The amount of white I can see on the face, plus lanky shape (Tree tends to be chubbier/more compact), makes me lean towards VGSW. I'd love a better angle to say it more confidently, though.

I agree. Don’t think it’s likely to be a Tree Swallow but I’m not positive.
