If Barn Swallows, they were wintering regionally: the main population is
still in South America.

On average in Vancouver BC, it arrives Week 1 April in early arrivals (Week
4 March in very early arrival), average arrival Week 2 April.

The pale breast suggests first-year birds, though I would have expected them
to have molted into the richer cinnamon plumage by now.
