Tree Swallow.

[Karl Egressy]

Saw them flying above the water catching midges I guess. They just came.
This frame is from last March.
Thanks for looking.

Nice close-up. Exposure is spot on.
The iridescent blues look good in this somewhat harsh light.
Great BG.I really like the clear eye.
Calling pose adds a lot to the shot.

Hi Karl, well timed to show the open beak, good head turn, and I too like the blue iridescence. Lovely thin perch and clean BG.
