I had four Swallow species flitting around a pond in Cape May a few weeks ago. Would have loved to capture all four, but the Tree Swallow was the only one that would perch, and the others were just too fast for me. Sun was off to the left, so just a tiny bit more head turn toward me put his face in shadow. Of a number of frames, this was the best compromise between lighting and HA. C&C appreciated.
