"Say Ah"



Well it is feeding season or try outs for the chorus. I caught these 4 baby Barn Swallows with their mouths open and in seconds mom/dad was there to feed one. These pictures were taken with a 500 mm lens attached to my 1D canon sitting on a tripod. It was in the shade so I used a flash and since this happens so fast I used a remote release. When the parent, was close I fired away.

You are either awfully darn good at taking bird pictures or darn lucky period. But since I have known you for 50+ years, I have to say you were just lucky. These pictures are wonderful and truly amazing!!!! I am impressed!!

Your wonderful and much younger sis
