Here's a tree swallow. They're flitty little birds. Finding one that sits still long enough for a photo is a challenge.

If you like this one, you'd probably also like:

[Out on a Limb]

ISO-100,f/4,1/250 sec., 280mm
The only editing on this one was a crop and the border. (Thanks to =djberry for properly identifying the bird as a tree swallow).

What a lovely bird!

The focus in this shot is awesome.

Yay! :w00t:

Nice shot. I see what you mean about it being hard to get it to stay still from the slightly blurred head. Great shot though!

One cannot see through my eyes, so I take pictures.

Perfect focus!
I wish i had more to say, but this is simply perfect...I know how hard it is to catch the little bastards!! :P
I also like the lighting ( those subtle golds in his back ), you choose a good time of the day.. :thumbsup:

Thanks! This was taken between 9 and 10 am. The birds tend to quiet down around noon. Best time of day to get them is around 7-8, but I can't quite force myself out of bed that early on a weekend.
