Thanks Bill. I got a lot of shots of that bird peeking out of the hole. I was hoping to catch it leaving, so when it looked like it might, I started shooting. Then when it did fly off, I missed it. :D

Lucky find! Bet there are babies in the hole. Nice shots, Mitch.

Thanks Karen. You may be right as I thought I heard some cheeping from the tree, but not when I was at the tripod. When I moved away to the truck, just a few feet, it started up again. But I have no idea how they could have seen me.

Thanks Stephen. I got lucky in finding this tree. It's easy to get to and there should be plenty of opportunity for more shots. Maybe practice some inflights. :D

Good luck with those inflights - I tried that myself and those little buggers are tiny as well as fast! On the other hand, think how easy shooting eagles would be if you can master the tree swallows!

Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Or, any other bird in flight for that matter.

Thanks Reyno, there will be more to come. I have what they call a "captive audience" here. ;)
