these guys fly way too fast for me to capture in a photo but the RSH had better luck

Lovely shots - I'm guessing you moved a few steps forward to lose the cross branch in the second shot.

correct- at first I thought he would fly off so I clicked a few right away- he gobbled this little swallow down so fast it soon became unrecognizable.

Nice ones Bob. The swallows are little speedburners that tuen on a dime.

Pretty much amazed that a Swallow managed to let itself be caught.

I didn't see it happen and also find it hard to believe. more likely it was hit by a car and found by the hawk wounded or d.o.a.
