p.1 #1 · Tree Swallow contemplating a meal

It was interesting to see the way the swallow watched the approaching insect. It seemed undecided if it should launch and eat it or fly away.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

A meal or an invader or maybe just someone to perch next to him

Nice contrast in flying critters, great moment captured!

Looks like he ordered door-dash. Always nice to have dinner arrive on time.

Nice catch Morris, the eye contact with his approaching snack makes the shot work really well.

Thank you Karl,
The insect realized it's mistake and reversed before the tree swallow was able to go after it
