I Told You I'd Help with the Nest!

I love barn swallows but find their flight pattern so fast and unpredictable that it is hard to get good in flight shots. I thought this was pretty cute with the male swooping down and the female showing him the feather she'd found. Best on black.
Thanks so much for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

So this is what 1/2500th of a second can capture - to me it's truly incredible that you can catch these moments. It really is like magic!
