Just another flock of swallows - a classic post-breeding sight along the rural roads of Gill in August . It's so easy to gloss over them but a cursory glance reveals much more than the expected Barn Swallows. This image contains 17 individuals of three species! North Cross Road, Gill, Franklin Co., MA. August 7th, 2013. Canon Powershot G10.

Just another flock of swallows - the same flock a few seconds later. All of the birds on the upper, thinner wire and the birds in flight above and below that wire are Bank Swallows. North Cross Road, Gill, Franklin Co., MA. August 7th, 2013. Canon Powershot G10.

Just another flock of swallows - this heavy crop, again taken a few seconds after the shot above, shows a juvenile Bank Swallow (extreme right), a Tree Swallow (lower middle), a Barn Swallow (upper middle), and three Barn Swallows together (lower left).
