Kinky Tree swallows
p.1 #1Kinky Tree swallows
On a lovely day in the marsh at the Marine Nature Study area in Oceanside, New York, I found this pair of Tree swallows that were busy catching insects and bringing them to there nest. They did more than just that!

1) The female arrives and the male yells at her
2) She gives him a confused look as he continues yelling at her
3) He takes to the air
4) As she watches
5) Then she joins him in the air
6) They both dove low and as I caught up it's sex in the air
7) He has her tail
8) They have a tug of war
