There were also a bunch of swallow type birds flying around. They were a bit quick for my little camera. I believe that some were barn swallows (forked tail), any idea on the blurry ones I posted?
Thanks

Agree with Eripma on the first, bill looks too straight and the bird's body shape/size point to Lesser. Agree with all of Psweet's other IDs.

Is the last pic clear enough to call it a bank swallow? That would be a new one for me.

The last one does look like a Bank Swallow. It has the brownish gray color, and it has the white throat with what looks like the brown necklace under it. I would say it is.
