Barn Swallows

Posted

A few nights ago I mentioned seeing lots of swallows flying over the neighborhood in the evenings.  Today I took my new camera on our walk and got some pictures.  I think they are Barn Swallows.  They continue to fly over the neighborhood in regular patterns at dusk.

Note: Gotta love ISO 12,800 on my new Canon 7D for capturing any kind of detail in tiny birds zooming over my head during a 100% cloudcover evening long after the sun has set!!  Not that this is a great image by any means, but at least I could identify the little birds.
