About
Earlier this summer, I found these tree swallows nesting in a box put up for wood ducks. This was with my old 18-70mm lens. I can't wait to have the same opportunity with my new longer lens. I was sitting right below the nesting box (I could touch it with my outstretched arm) in about six inches of water, waiting for several hours while the parents anxiously and cautiously went in and out of the box every 20 minutes or so. With the longer lens I'll be able to sit on dry ground and probably be able to use my remote for the camera and a tripod rather than hand holding it. Anyway, beautiful birds. Had a wonderful time taking this shot, but it was a long hot afternoon. Hope you enjoy it.
