Swallow calling for Mom

December 10, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

swallow, babyMom!This young swallow was on the rail outside of my office for a few minutes. It seemed distressed and waiting for Mom to bring food. A second after I took the shot from my office, it flew off. Go figure.

 

The little swallow was photographed through my home office window with a Canon 10D camera equipped with a telephoto lens on July 10, 2004. It appeared on the railing and seemed to be in distress wanting to be fed. I literally saw it in the corner of my eye, focused the ‘ever ready’ camera, and clicked a few frames before it took to flight like a mature bird. I now recognize this seemingly ritualistic, posturing with birds that signal the more successful bug gatherers for a handout.
