I've tried for years to get a nice shot of the swallows as they fly, and discovered today that the key to success is to meet them on their own level. Before, I went out and sat in the lawn. Today I was standing on my upper deck, and the lightbulb went off! These violet-greenbacked swallows were chasing all the other birds away from the deck - I think their nest is in the eaves above me, but I couldn't see it. They were very active and vocal!
Elsewhere, I found a little blue feather sticking upright in some mulch beside the road.
