Index of Subjects Hi Bernie; No one else has risen to your challenge yet - so, at the risk of making a complete fool of myself - I'll venture an answer: In your first photo, which shows 4 different swallows perched on a wire, I would say, from left to right; 1) Barn Swallow - the one with the longest tail 2) Bank Swallow - the tiniest one 3) Tree Swallow - preening 4) Cliff Swallow - the one with the light patch on his forehead. How did I do??
