Unknown pair of birds (1 Viewer)

August 14 2023 at George Landis arboretum in upstate, NY I observed a pair of Yellow Finches and an unknown pair of small birds flying in and out of a ditch to get a drink of water. They were bigger than the Finches, possibly a Swift? Also saw a pair of Blue Birds that are nesting in a box.

Suspect "A" is brown cowbird. The yellow birds in "B" and "C" are American Goldfinch.

Right, no fork in the tail. Thanks.

Yes - juveniles.

Yes - juveniles.

Ok, how much bigger do they get? Too bad the bluebirds wouldn't come closer!

They won't get any bigger than what you've seen.
