- Comments: "Either late or breeding here, if that's a possibility. I've seen one to three here around the Upper Pool nearly every day for what must be a week now, and I've wondered about it but didn't realize it would get flagged today. Brownish swallow (browner than Bank or immature Tree) with smudgy throat—no clean white throat or breast/throat band as would be expected on other drab swallows of the area. Had to run to work but will try to get photos if they stick around. Others have also reported them in the park in recent days."
