A few Purple martin photos taken in the rain at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY. As there was nobody around I was able to stand near a branch they were gathering on and capture these speedy birds as they interacted, came and went. This was the closest I've ever been to them.
Nice work (esp. exposure in a highkey situation), #2 for me. At first I was thinking, "Too bad about the white background," but on 2nd thought it helps put the focus on the birds.
