Ouch! Keep that eye protected, Allen. Considering I don’t have a single Tree Swallow in flight that I’m at all proud of, this is quite the accomplishment. Nice light on all four images that brings out their blues very well.

Hi Allen
Ya, like what Dennis said, get well soon.

Very nice series and agree that it would be difficult to pick one over the others. So far no tree swallows have made it up to my area yet and your photos provide me with some ideas on capturing some of these birds in flight. Well done…Jim
