Tree Swallows in Flight

[Scottes]

These are about 50% crops. But I'm **really** happy to get some of these guys in flight. They are so freaking difficult to track - normally. These guys kept skimming this little pond going for the bugs near the surface I guess. So I had it easy...

I love the background on this one, and the angle showing that beautiful back coloring.

Not so sharp, but I *just* missed him skimming the water - that spot behind him is his "wake."

Edit: Somehow I deleted this one...

Awesome shot, that first one!

Lovelly background and colors on the bird's back! I bet the 50% corp will still look great at 15x20cm.

...and I was too quick ...
Came back to see were the third swallow would be.

The lost one is "au pair" with the first... but I still preffer the first.

Sweet! Those suckers are really hard to capture.
