Flying Cigars

[Loupey]

You see them all the time. Flying about catching bugs all day long. Usually only sillouettes against the sky.

I wanted to see what they look like so I shot these last night in the low-angle light. They don't look like much after all. 300mm + 2x

Heck I don't even know what they are - martins? swifts? swallows?

They are chimney swifts ;) Great job on catching them in flight too!
