Some kind of finch. There were several of these milling around when I took this picture.
A barn swallow. This is one of a pair that have a nest in the rafters of the horse shed.
Swallow in flight. They move so fast it's hard to get a good shot of them.

Great job. Loved your selections.
Nice picture, love the one on the fence!
Very nice shots, glad to hear the true king of rock-n-roll here..:-)
I like the feeling of linear motion in the second swallow shot. Very cool and nice colors too.
Good ones Gina. I have to say I loved the fly. At 6:45 in the morning I'm not always too cheerful but the fly made me chuckle thanks for the entertaining start to my day. Love your music too.
great variety!
The fly made me laugh; they are so hard to shoo out of a vehicle! I like the shot of the blackbird.
The sky behind the swallow is very pretty. I tried to get some swallows, too. They are tough!
That fly made me laugh - quite unexpected in your collection of cute birds!
I like the Red Winged Blackbird. They are so striking. We are beginning to see them where we live, too, nesting along the river. Before, we had to drive about an hour south to see them. Nice selection of images!
I couldnt help but laugh at the fly! If you could see our vehicles you'd die...for some reason they love our cars and sometimes they are covered in them! I hate flies! LOL
Great pictures tho!!!!! I love the swallow!
Nice selection of shots. BTW, thanks for your visit.

The flies just don't want to leave, eh? Clever idea, too. I like the plane photo. Very pretty. You also captured the swallow's irridescent blue green wonderfully.
Great job!
