Swallow

I do not get many opprotunities to photograph a Tree Swallow. They are great flyers .. and fast. This one was just waiting for me to take a photo.

I Guess He Needed A Break

It is rare that we see a Tree Swallow this close and not flying around. They have amazing sills in the air. In the Wikipedia entry they refers to them as 'aerial insectivore'. They are so fun to just watch fly.

Small, Plain But Beautiful

I don't know what it is, but I love sparrows. Then when I get to photograph one, or even more than one, I get all excited. They are plain, but so cool.

When I was young, I didn't see these beautiful creatures the same way. Perhaps I was not always kind to them.

This is a American Tree Sparrow. They don't fly away as fast as some birds. I just love when I see them.

Blue Streak

I love the colors and flying skills of the Tree swallow. The colors can look so different depending on the lighting. The blue can often look black. That said, what I love most about swallows their amazing flying skills. They are so fast and agile .. all while hunting insects. They are just a blue streak in the air. Very cool bird.
