Observation details

Viewed from (50.6987406, -127.4772613), foraging over the estuary to the north. Medium sized stocky swallow. Examined very closely to eliminate Cave Swallow. Juvenile bird with dark forehead (which got us all excited!) but very dark throat, and pale rump. Many pics of the bird in flight.
