and we have two houses of them nesting out back.
Also an opportunity test the Leica 100-400 on the GX8 before the Sun could really help-

I'm smitten with them. This morning just sat back and watched them fly up to catch a calorie
or two then flit around. I can't find out anything I can do for them though....I don't think Tree Swallows
will eat anything I can put out.

Looks pretty soft to me, man

(the bird, not the shot!):D That's looking like a terrific combo.

Good pic. I used to have a birdhouse with a hinged roof and it was fun to check on the progress of the tree swallows. Mom would just sit there if she was on the eggs when you opened the roof.

Thanks Peter.
I'm loving the little Leica 100-400mm. It's a long reach that's small
enough to carry everyday everywhere.
Limited of course by the mFT sensor but you know that going into it.
