    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.

    Looking forward to your comments and critiques!

    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.

    What a gorgeous shot, Mike. Love the BG, the head angle, the open mouth. Beautiful detail and exposure. Thanks for showing how it should be done!

    Love the empty space in this! Bird is sharp and beautiful. Open mouth here takes it over the top for me. TFS
