While birding a local path with a small lake, there were numerous swallows flying around I tried and tried to "capture" them I got just a few usable shots of these incredibly fast moving birds - I was laughing at myself in my inability to move with them

We made our visit to Magee Marsh for the Biggest week in Birding, just three days this year. We had a great time and met some interesting birders. The little guys were extra challenging this year it seemed for photos, here are some shots from this year.
Cape May Warblers were everywhere
