Good work, Jim! BTW either your lens was filthy or your sensor needs cleaning.

Yes my sensor was quite dirty when I took these shots. And my iso was fairly high.

Thanks

Thanks. Not the best shots.

Do you think these are Northern Rough-wing or Bank Swallows. After looking at photos I'm now thinking these are Northern Rough Wing. You are great at identification. These were at Canoa March 22
Thanks

I'm willing to bet those little guys are really hard to track. Great job.

Agree with Northern rough-winged. These are tan on the throat and have rather uniform coloration below; Bank swallows would be whiter on the throat and belly with a dark breast band. All that is hard for me to see in life, easier in photos.

Nice images!

The 1st one looks like it is a dive bomber, making its turn! Interesting shots.
