Observation details

Conservative count. Surprised to see this many, just be a late push blown down by the winds? Mixed in with a huge swallow flock on the lake this late afternoon. Easy to identify at close range with white rumps and white faces (some dusky), smaller size, and greenish sheen vs more dark blueish tone of TRES. Many perched up in tree for photos. At one point I counted 10 perched in a single tree with other swallows.
