Swallows - Tree and Purple Martin

My uncle just upgraded his T2i to 60D a few weeks ago and the other day he bought the canon 100-400mm. So yesterday we went birding and to break him gently to taking bird photos, we looked for some swallows . We shot some purple martins first. On the way to the car, we spotted 2 young tree swallows being fed by the parents. The angle was tough because we were right on top so we have to carefully pick the angle so we can still see the feeding

Very nice series. #1 is aaaawwww inspiring. #4 is pretty awesome!

No4 is a belter, i love my 100-400, never off my camera.

Great series finished off by the best Jo! That bird looks as if it was coming right down your lens.

Thanks Lil, pure luck to have her flying towards me and the camera AF'ed in the right time

I think the last purple martin shot takes the prize, Jo; well done.

These are great, Jo. The first one has some serious WOW! factor going on. Nicely done.
