Photographed last weekend on the North Shore of Massachusetts.
We have had thousands of Tree Swallows staging along the coast and they periodically roost on the beach.
It is pretty hard to get close even when crawling on the beach.
Such a beautiful capture, Mike. low angle, pose, the BG, HA....WOW...well done as always. If mine, I'd crop some from top but might be personal preference.
