And this fellow was looking for barn swallows with me. Two days later (today) I caught her at a barn swallow's nest, took off crying with an adult swallow wailing on her neck, and finally dove into deep grass to get rid of the swallow!

Cheers, Gene

Really wonderful Swallow shots, Gene. I thought I liked the barb wire ones best, then I saw the insect food one, I :rofl , I did.

Thanks for sharing that.

Do our nice, gorgeous hawks really eat those sweet looking birds. Funny how I don't feel sorry for the insects, too.

Wonderful shooting, thanks,

Thanks Everyone. Glad you enjoyed. You'd almost walk by these little fellows and not think they were so special if you couldn't shoot 'em close-up.
