Observation details
Possibly 6, or more. Two were at the upper pool (I tried, but couldn’t get a picture). I left for a few minutes, and when I returned, they were gone. I waited for around 15 minutes, but didn’t see them again - I'm not sure if they went to a perch or just left the area entirely. Later at the lake I found at least four (all in one glass on a couple of passes). Two seemed to be interacting with each other regularly. I eventually found a perch that they were using repeatedly and got a couple of photos before a kingbird kicked them off. Light brown swallows with brown throats slowly fading to off white bellies and undertails. Tails squared when closed, slightly rounded when opened. All were adult birds from what I observed.
