Observation details
I saw several of these swallows around the northernmost pond and the second pond from the north, usually in flight in small groups. I was able to capture a photo of three of them perched on a wire to the west of the northernmost pond. I had thought all of the swallows that I saw were Tree Swallows until downloading the photo and comparing the markings to my Peterson Guide, then identified them as Cliff Swallows. Several days later, I was notified by EBird Data Reviewer Nick Kiehl that these were actually juvenile Barn Swallows by their forked tails, blue backs and wings, and pale buffy throats.
