OH Herb,

these must be some of the best shots I've seen from you except for your owls...

I love # 2, 3 & 5 - - with # 3 as my top pick

Beautiful set

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

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