More amazing swallow shots! Wow! I like the one where you can see the bird's ear. I also find this set interesting because you can see the tree swallow scratches with the leg pulled under the wing. (certain species pull the leg under the wing to scratch, and certain species raise the leg over the wing. The interesting part is that each species scratches one of these 2 ways, and never changed it up- in other words all tree swallows are under the wing scratchers, where as all Tennessee Warblers are over the wing scratchers) I don't know others find

Thank you Ashley. Interesting about scractching above or below the wing.

Thank you Karl,

That is what I saw yet some thinks it's the ear.

I just thought I would add, this is definitely the bird's ear. All bird ear openings look kind of like this - and it is in the exact part of the head where birds' ears are located. birds ears are definitely strange looking. My pet bird allowed me to look at his ears up close, and I'd recommend checking it out if you have a bird.

These are a joy; lots of emotion. My "scratching" shots are never usually worth a second look. Good stuff. Don

These are great and so different. They certainly make me feel as if the bird has something on its mind. The third shot, in particular, could be the avian version of Rodin's famous sculpture "The Thinker"
