I have always called these barn swallows, but am I correct? This is my first attempt at photographing them. They are quick, erratic little things!!!!

tote Senior Member 675 posts Joined May 2007 Location: Colorado More info | Definitely a cliff swallow. You can id them easier by seeing the buff colored rump and squared off tail than by seeing the white on the forehead as they zoom past. I *think* the cave swallow is one of the only other swallows with a lighter colored rump. Nice picture. I love watching the swallows.
