    A few from today, a pair of Barn Swallows busy gathering nesting material. Another hard days work.
    Tried a few times for BIF shots, but no luck.

    1. Someone is watching us.

    3. This looks like a nice piece of nesting material with plenty of mud for our nest.

    4. Not as easy as I thought pulling it out of the muddy soil.

    I really like no.4. And feet are off the ground and wings are spread. I think that qualifies as a BIF :)

    Nice captures. I like the last two better than the others - movement I guess. Not really a fan of the OOF bird in the bg.
