Thanks so much for sharing. Isn't it interesting how all these bird pics show how deep under their feet are and so streamlined.

Great picture! The return of "our" barn swallows is much anticipated and celebrated here as well! Such a cheerful bunch!

# sharmon, birds were into aerodynamics long before man.

# inklord, the same here, it isīnt real summer before the swallows arrive, i usually have 3 or 4 pairs living on my house, and i never get tired of watching them

I love the shot with the mouth open and the talons slightly extended.

Swallows are such great fliers. They're fun to watch.
