Cliff Swallow Close up (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota)

Cliff Swallows build nest on the bridge near our boat launch site but that is too far from the dock for a good photo. But on this morning some were gathering nesting materials by the parking lot and occasionally would fly in my direction and I was ready with a high shutter speed.

Awesome flight shot of this beautiful Swallow. Great aerial pose with exceptional stop-action, focus, colors, detail, and setting. A real jaw-dropper Marianne!!!
