Thought these were just barns at first, but are they actually cliffs? Would be a lifer. Taken in WI - thanks!

Oh yeah, definite Cliff Swallows there. They sure nest late out there (collecting mud.)

Yes, they are. The orange rump is a good field marking, as well as the white spot on the forehead.

Life list (non ABA)- 204 Latest: Scarlet Tanager 

Coolest: Audubon's Warbler
2013 Year list- 165
Yard list- 108 Latest: Scarlet Tanager

Coolest: Lesser Yellowlegs (This bird was terribly lost during our May snow, we are near no shore for this shorebird)
