p.1 #1 · Purple Martins, North America's largest swallow


Like most swallows these birds are a challenge to capture in flight as they are fast and agile. I spent about 15 minutes photographing them near there nests at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY about two weeks ago.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris
