    Northern Rough-winged Swallow

    Easy to overlook in flocks of other more well-marked swallows, this species likes to sweep low over water catching insect one after another. The name "rough-winged" refers to tiny hooks on the leading edge of their outermost primary (wing) feather formed by stiff barb tips. These...

    Go thataway!

    We headed out into the park, first on foot in spite of the heat. One of the swallows resting on a power line at the trailhead seemed to be pointing out which trail we should choose.

    Who's Next?

    We were boating slowly along the shore about 5 pm and saw several swallows flying out from the bank hawking insects. As we went by we could see parent N. Rough-winged Swallows flying in to feed their fledglings. All 7 were perched on a dead branch along the river bank.

    This lovely little pair are working on a nest right along side one of our sailboats. I circled around carefully to get a picture when this one flew right over and nearly landed on me.

    Took this today at the lake. There were dozens of these around feeding on insects. Two pair had taken an interest in a pickup truck and boat trailer and were trying to build a nest in the underside of the truck. I wonder what the guy who owned the truck thought when he came to drive it home...

    Pearched on a fence along a road near the north gate to Beale AFB, Marysville, CA. I was able to drive right up and shoot out my car window. He/she didn't mind a bit. Actually preened itself. Unlike Barn or Tree Swallows that never seem to stop flying in the presence of humans.
