These Tree Swallows were very cooperative last Saturday. Suprisingly, (besides small amouts of Violet-greens) they are the only swallow here yet. Usually, they show up a few weeks before the rest start to show up, but they have been here for a full MONTH and no other swallow species or more numbers of Violet-green Swallows have shown up!!
Last Friday at work, I was fortunate enough to have my camera, AND get really close to multipule American Pipits feeding in the soccer fields. Notice the variations in the three individuals. I guess they are of different subspecies, migrating to their breeding grounds.

Cool! Great to hear from you too. The top and bottom pipits are of the ssp alticola and the middle one is a rubescens.
