Hi Tweets


I would like other birders to help me out. While birding on Sunday, a
particular barn swallow stood out to me. The bird had pretty white
underparts, the bird also had a long tail if it were to be a female
"american" barn swallow. Other wise this would make it a female eurasian
swallow. I coulnd't really see if her chest band was solid all the way
around. Please check that out if you guys can. The female eurasian swallow
is equivilant to the male "american" barn swallow, and the male eurasian
swallow just plain old has a LONG tail. The imm. eurasian swallows are
equivilant to the female "american" barn swallow. Maybe it is just a really
nice looking female with extra long tail feathers, but you never know.
