I don't blame you, Frank. That is a beautiful bird, and you captured its
color very well. If I saw goldfinches everyday, I'd photograph them.
As for turkey vultures, we've got tons of those down here in Kentucky.
You can't throw a rock without hitting one. But I've never seen a tree
swallow.
Nicely done -- especially given that you used a 200mm to get it.

Excuse the banal (if descriptive) title. Also excuse the fact that it's yet
another tree swallow. However I really like them; I think they're beautiful and
I love their colour. They are plentiful down at the lake and they sit still
long enough early morning (not so much during the day) that I can often get a
decent shot.
I'd never really seen them until we moved here a few years ago so I guess
they're still a novelty to me.
Finally, the light was quite nice this morning and I think it really showed off
the irredescent blue nicely.
So, after all that:

In other exciting news I saw several turkey vultures soaring high above me. Got
some shots but with only a 200mm they're awfully small on the screen. Might be
able to do something with them. We'll see.
Anyway, hope you like this little swallow. Comments always welcome.
Cheers,
frank
