Crazy that you can do that. Wow! I have a hard enough time just watching them flying around, let alone tracking and photographing them. Just nuts!

Spectacular birds.
Spectacular shooting, Herb.
Looks like a big wingspan compared to other swallows.

Hi Charlie. Yes, it is the largest swallow species that we encounter.

Considering how hard these guys are to get in the frame, this set is exceptional Herb.

3 and 5 stand out ~ Ron

Thanks Ron, alas, that's why the 800 took the backseat for this shoot.
