I had a tough time trying to track these fast movers. Finally this morning I was able to take some decent in flight pictures. I believe these are swallows ... but I can't tell what kind(s). I think there are more than one type of swallows in these pictures. Unfortunately, the harsh overhead sunlight this morning washed out the color, making it more difficult for me to identify them. I appreciate your help with IDs. Thanks.

Well done Linh. I believe they are Purple Martins.
