Observation details
SW corner of the cemetery. First spotted flying with a NRWS. Right when I got my binocs on it the first time I suspected it was a Bank. Upon further inspection my observations supported that. Circled the SW corner for about 5-8 minutes before flying north. Possibly the same bird John Sterling had at Famosa a few hours after I saw my bird? Small brown-backed/headed swallow with a white throat, dark necklace, and white belly. The necklace seemed a little faded, but strong enough to rule out NRWS. 1st year TRSW should have been grayer above and probably more strikingly white below. Cliff and Barn, the other two expected swallow species are easily ruled out. Documentation shot:
