I frequently spend a few minutes photographing the fast little birds when I visit the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Very nicely done Morris, whenever you capture an in focus in flight swallow you've done a whole bunch right.

Thank you Chris,

I've figured out Tree Swallows and Barn Swallows and there no longer erratic for me. Now Purple Martin are just crazy!
