[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Took this shot of a young Barn Swallow as it was waiting for mama to bring it some food. I watched this little one along with it's siblings for quite a while, as their parents brought them insects time and time again.

I'm sure glad that we humans we don't have to constantly feed our children as often as the birds do. It makes me tired just to watch the adults as they constantly fly in and out all day long just to keep up with the demand.

Gee Ron...With our 7 kids it seems someone was always hungry:-) good show on the Swallow!. I had an opportunity up in my wilderness many times..but didn't think of it...and of course I didn't know about TN back then either...but alas...this is definitely the sheen on the bird which I remember so well..nice and close in you got too! Fine deal then. Your officially a trekker there guy!

Hi Ron,

Nice capture with good detail and sharpness on the feathers. Good highlight in the eye. You must have been pretty close with a 300mm lens,

Hello Ron,

Beautiful sharp capture of this young swallow. Very good composition. I like the POV and the colours. The shine in the feathers of the back is beautiful and I like the 'dégradé' of blue in the sky.
Cheers,
Mariki
