It's hard getting all my photos processed lately. Here are some swallows that I was able to finish.

Still trying to get a good BIF of these guys but so far no luck. I did see this wierd gathering though. Frankly they were acting drunk rolling on the ground chirping up a storm.

    I think these are the kids just learning their way.

    Nice captures, Stephen. :D

    Thank to all who commented. They are fun birds to watch. The way they dip and rise, turn on a dime and interact with each other is quite a spectacle.

    Well, personally, I think these kids are drunk! rolleyes1.gifIt started with one, who might be the only one sober and then a bunch of troublemakers stopped by. Look, they can't even stand. :D

    You must have been pretty close to get such a smooth background, I've yet to get this close to one of these guys, much less to capture one on film (hmm, on sensor) Well done, Stephenthumb.gif
