    Swallow Behavior 2 - Drinking

    They way that they skim the surface is too cool IMO. But very difficult to capture exactly the right moment when they break the surface.

    Tree swallows are easy to predict what they're going to do as they fly differently when they are hunting verses coming in for a drink verses coming in for a bath. And tracking them appropriately changes depending on their intent.

    These are great Loupey! The timing is excellent and I love the water drops in that second image.
