There were a bunch of these little guys flying around and flying fast, climbing diving doing loops. Felt like I had a personal air show. Im assume they were catching instects, I'm not sure.

Barn and Tree Swallows are among my favorite birds to watch feeding on insects, the small,single pilot fighter jets of the bird world.

I have a shot with its wings pressed back against its body, looks like a bullet. Felt like there were as fast as a bullet, Im surprised I actually captured them
