Tree and Barn Swallows

The tree swallows were guarding a nest and the barn swallows were hanging out near a marsh. Let me know if I don't have these ID'd right and thanks for looking.

Awesome !!! My wife has been at me to get some of these shots.

The first shot is very nice...great capture

Thanks Randy and Scott for your kind remarks!

Very nice set. The second shot is my favorite. I really like the display and patterns of those back feathers. Well done.

They are too darn quick for me, Nice ones Dennis

Nice swallow series, Dennis. One thing i learned, is the fork tail of the Barn swallow is the tricky part. I often clipped it when composing the shot. I see you did the same here.

Thanks Keith, Gary, & Fee for your comments and for taking a look.

Very good point Fee about the clipping of the tail. Never saw that in the viewfinder! Thanks for the critique.
