Like this one you have a knack of catching them just at the right time.
Thanks Mike. I really like the over the shoulder look so I was happy this bird accommodated me. Plus, I really like shooting Tree Swallows.
I can never get my birds to sit still and pose long enough to get a good shot, how do you do it???
For this bird I set up close to one of his favorite resting spots on a pond. I visit the same pond twice a week and have a good visual on his behavior.
