Ever try to get a picture of a swallow in flight? It's a great way to spend a morning, if you like exercising futility and what not.
However, I did nail a shot of this swallow. Question is, can you ID it from the back feathers alone. I'm thinking Northern Rough-Wing due to the all brown feathers. I remember the underside being plain.
In picture two, the Tree Swallow and Cliff Swallow are apparent. However, the cute little brown and white one - is it a Bank Swallow?
Thanks.
