Heading Home

This is a Violet Green Swallow or a Tree Swallow (very similar) and he is nesting in this bluebird house. This species usually nests in trees but the house must have been appealing! Just returned from "going south" and is ready for the insects to start stirring so he can eat.

Lovely capture. I am sure a bird house is more comfortable than a tree. Sensible bird.

Wow love how you've composed this shot!

Fantastic composition! Love the texture of the wood on the bird box and DOF.

I like how the wire gives the structure to the picture, I like the background colour, and I really love how you captured the position of the bird!

I like the way you left this at a distance and kept the focus on the bird and the house. Made a great shot.

Oh that is so delicate, just one bird out on the wire there. Love it.
