It is difficult to see here, but this is a violet-green swallow. I have another shot of it that clearly shows the colors. It is the first of these I have seen around here and it had a nest here on the farm. In fact, there were youngsters in a nest. The nest was where I would not have expected. But I saw the swallows flying back and forth from it last spring to a small opening at the very peak of Angie's tack-room. I will watch for them again this spring. The image has been cropped some.
