Taken today at Milburn Pond, NY. There was a lot of feeding at the pond. House Sparrows, Red-winged Blackbirds, Cedar Waxwings, Northern Rough-winged Swallow, among them, skimming insects off the surface of the pond. I'm pretty sure I saw a Tree Swallow, also. The Rough-wingeds had a nest in a cavity in the concrete 'bulkhead' at the north end of the pond. Most feeding was at the south end. I'm confident that the bird at the bottom of the picture is a Rough-Winged but I have my doubts about the bird in the upper two shots. Sorry for the blurring. These little buggers are really fast!

Thanks, fisherman1313. That's what I came up with, but since it is a new species for me I wanted to make sure I wasn't wishful thinking.
