I uploaded 7 (bad, sorry) photos of the swallows I talked about last
week. Yesterday and this morning they landed outside my kitchen window
to gather dead grass from the blacktop beneath the clotheslines.

I don't have a great birding camera but, I'm sure you'll be able to see
enough to identify them.

I tend to think there were two type as one's breast was white and
another was robin reddish. I didn't capture the second's photo.
Interestingly, the Goldfinch was occasionally gathering grass, too.

The Killdeer spent most of the day out back, too.
