Pretty sure this is a prairie falcon. Don't see many of them around here.

Thank you so much, Mike! Learned a new phrase "patience of Job" Initially I thought, yeah, the "job" of photographer requires a lot of patience, then I looked it up, oh "Job" is a name

"This Wisdom Book (Book of Job) of Hebrew poetry portrays the suffering of Job, his patience." You have the same patience as Job with your photography. A lot of older people, like myself, tend to use that term.

Stunning image, Shalu. The low camera angle really makes this shot stand out so nicely.

This is a wonderful portrait shot of the swallow, Richard. The sharpness and detail are A-1.

Around here that saying is as old as Methuselah.
Have to agree Shalu, after hanging over some brickwork watching Swallows feed their young, you obviously have what it takes.

From earlier this year, parked along a local bayou and using the truck as a hide. I called this guy in by blowing on a Duck Commander Wood Duck Call. He swam up, hopped up on this log for a few minutes and then and swam off.
