    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!

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

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