They really do. Somehow I relate them to childhood and they always make me feel fanciful.

gorgeous. I will look out for more characterful bird photos from you. You have a talent for capturing an instant of their freedom and translating it. Sorely needed.

You guessed correctly! The flycatcher is a Least Flycatcher. The swallows look like Cliff Swallows but hard to tell from the light. I know the one is not happy! Nice gallery this week! 🙂

Yay for new birds! The swallows are awesome. All of them. We have Chimney Swifts come in during the summer and roost in people’s chimneys. We had to have ours cleaned after they vacated one year and we put a screen over it so they can’t do it again. I miss their little tweeting in the house. 🙂
