Small Bird ID - Lousy Shots, Really

[Scottes]

I'm too tired too look this bird up in the books. My eyes are barely open. But there were a million of them buzzing around today, and there were none here 3 days ago. They're a lot prettier than this collage shows. And they move like the dickens. I wasted a lot of time trying to get a decent shot of one in flight.

So if you have any idea what they are, please let me know. Otherwise I'll look them up tomorrow.

Thanks.

Swallows... Tree swallows, I believe.

Great job on the flight shots. I've got about 1000 awful pics trying to get these guys. Almost fell off the bridge from turning circles - following these birds is difficult.

Have to afree with Lazy on this one. The Book is up in the office. Will check it out later.

No doubt they are Tree Swallows. Here's one I took about 2 weeks ago here in Central Nebraska. Canon 10D 100-400mm L

We also have lots of Barn Swallows here too. This is one of a pair nesting in my garage.
