Observation details
Continuing. Swallow with bright white underparts, dark glossy green/blue upperparts. Eye entirely within the dark cap, unlike violet-green. Seen hanging around a snag at the start of the north loop. Joined by an immature of the same species as I observed it. Photos of both individuals. This snag has a cavity in it; I suspect that perhaps they were nesting in it while the loop was closed and that this immature is one of the young, although it's surprising that they would be nesting so far south and in the lowlands
