Thanks very much. I'll tell ya' though, Tree Swallows are very easy to shoot. They practically pose for you. They're not a skittish bird at all. I was really close to this guy. There's another tree swallow shot in my gallery, where it was the same way. They just flit all around you, landing... looking at you, posing for you.

I wish all birds were like them.

Thanks LeeAnne. The compliments go to the bird though. I guess they just feel very safe at LSP because they are so cordial there. They will stay on branches or in their bird boxes for long periods of time, while you stand mere inches away. Most smaller birds are not like that, even in parks. I can't be this lucky all the time, so i still need a better lens.
