American Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota)

Taken at the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge at about 13m.

The swallows were everywhere, but far too fast for me to photograph. But we found a deep hole they were gathering mud from and were able to get a few of them jumping-out for take-off.

Very well done getting this Calvin.... it really makes for a lovely image especially with that flight pose you've captured.

Nice one lad.

It certainly is eye-balling that mud for its nest. Fabulous aerial with great colors, focus, detail, lighting, and setting. First-class Kevin!!!!
