- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S138247242
- Media: 1 Photo
- Comments: "My first ever for the county/park, and one of the first swallows I saw when I got to the lake today. Squared tail, pale forehead and light, buffy rump. Initially seen from the Peninsula across from Well House, but seemed to be making long laps around entire lake, as I only saw it circle a few times within a couple of hours. Somehow managed to take at least one terrible but diagnostic photo."
