Last Sunday the wind was blowing hard but that did not deter these little Tree Swallows from spending their day looking for a suitable summer residence and it sure seemed like box 29 was high on their list of desirable homes.
The competition was high and words of caution we flying as freely as these swallows glide through the skies.
A quick resting spot on the roof was in order and acceptable to both shoppers at box 29.
Photographed on a very windy morning at Hutton Lakes NWR, near Laramie WY.

Impossibly iridescent – so beautiful! I noticed our first tree swallows two days ago. Such a pleasure to see the return of these acrobatic flyers to our northern skies.

HI Eliza, it is a sure sign of spring when the swallows return to the northern skies.

The Swallows tend to keep us photographers humble. Swallows and falcons are the two that challenge us the most. Nice images and I’m sure a fun shoot.
