Description
A Tree Swallow at Burnaby Lake. Lots of activity that evening, including of a rare-for-the-region Yellow Headed Blackbird.Been under the weather with a "cold" (actually a lung infection) I've had now for a month (part of why I lost my job after missing two days because of it) and can't afford the medication I need to get better.... so I don't have a lot of new art or photography, nor will I likely for a while. This photo was taken on a forced walk I took after going out to get my frogs some crickets.

What a unique shot! Granted, this is the first Tree Swallow picture that stands out to me but something about the angle of the shot and it's pose makes it look a lot more graceful. I do wish it there were less shadows, so it would of been a bit easier to see his face, must of been late afternoon the shot was taken I assume?
Ha ha, my mentor will be so proud of this shot, he loves tree swallows.

Thank you! And yes, late afternoon indeed. The sun was the exact opposite from where I would have wanted it, and post-processing didn't help, but liked the shot enough to post anyway.
