Had many many swallows swarming around Peaceful Waters this past weekend - mostly tree swallows and some northern rough-winged swallows mixed in. Among them were these much more colorful, patterned looking swallows that I wasn't familiar with. I ruled out barn swallows which is the only other one I'm familiar with and have photographed - so the only thoughts on these were cliff or cave swallows. I haven't ever seen either one, so they'd both be new for me.
