Here's my last Purple MArtin post for now. It was very hot when I photographed them on this day, and most of them had their bills agape like this non-stop - seemingly a form of panting to try to get cooler. It did make for interesting flight images as it looks like they were calling midflight.
P.S. My oldest son's soccer (or football for those outside North America) has taken up most of my time the last few days...I'll get to the critiquing soon!
Canon 7D + 100-400L @320mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/1600s., f/6.3, ISO 800 (settings histogram checked), natural light, handheld, cropped for composition (about 80% FF). This one was banded - cloned that out.
