I saw this couple (I believe they are couples?) in Ketchikan, Alaska. I think I would need some identification help.

Thanks,
Cui

I'm afraid I don't have more pictures. They are sitting on the roof of a house. Any guess?

Thanks,
Cui

Thanks! Tricky with so little of the bird visible; perhaps Tree Swallows or Violet-green Swallows, with sunlight reflecting off their foreheads making them look white there. Otherwise, not sure!

Yeah, seems to be either Tree Swallows or Violet-green Swallows. I think I will mark them as Tree Swallows in my collection ;)

Thanks,
Cui
