Bird photography Weekly 46 Tree Swallow








These Tree Swallows were such brave little birds who were so willing to pose beautifully for me. I took these photos up in the Okanogan. To see more of our worlds birds please go here.

Great photos. The sheen on the feathers is beautiful.

I dom't know what hex you use to make them pose for you. Birds have a way of seldom doing so for me.
Wonderful captures of such a pretty little bird.

Beautiful, Amanda. I love the poses. I was fortunate enough to get one a few years back that was the start of my bird collection series which is still a work in progress.
Great work!

I love Tree Swallows, probably because they are pretty easy to find around here and oh so cute. Your photos are beautiful, thanks for sharing them. :)

Beautiful photos of beautiful birds. I've never had one sit so still for me - you must be a bird whisperer!

Your pictures are spectacular! Even with rain on a dirty lens...some people just can't take a bad photo.:D You, are one of those! :D
Keep them coming...I will definitely be back to see more of your photos!

Awesome captures of the Tree Swallows Amanda! I love it when they stick their heads out of the birdhouse entrance. Did you get close enough to get dive bombed?

I think the fourth shot of the male from side, standing on the wood, showing his glistening blue back contrasting the bright white chin, is my favorite of the series.

I could watch their aerial acrobatics for hours.
