When we went to Stone Harbor Point there were hundreds of these birds in the area. Not sure what they were. Any idea? Should have zoomed in for a better ID. These pictures are a blowup from a far away shot. IMG 5198 Versions 2 &3.

I managed to make version 2 a bit lighter. Barbara and I both feel rairly confident that these are Tree Swallows. They are often seen in quite large flocks perced on bushes and foraging over fields and water.

I photographed a Male Tree Swallow (right) when we were in Vermont a few years ago.
