And they’re off!

One moment the power cables above my head were packed with hundreds of swallows, the next, following a signal I didn’t hear, they had all taken to the wing. By the time I lowered my camera, the entire flock had disappeared.

Good Morning, Human!

Good morning, human! One of the flock of migrating swallows momentarily distracted from thoughts of the day’s flight schedule either by me or the long lens pointing at him.

More Aerial Ballet

More swallowbatics as members of the migratory flock twist and turn as they jostle for a prime spot on the upper branches of a cypress tree by our house.
