Barn Swallow and Rough-winged Swallow were quite late migrants on Nov 11, 2013.

Considered very rare this late in the year.  I found three Northern Rough-winged Swallows at E. L. Huie on Nov 19.  I have found them there in years past in late fall/winter.  Come to think of it, I have found a number of these swallows elsewhere in late fall/winter now looking back over the years.  Nice to get close enough for photos.
