Tree Swallow, Secaucus

New York

Tachycineta bicolor - Tree Swallow - Trädsvala

Lucky shot... I was shooting the swallow sitting on the perch when a second swallow flew by to harrass the sitting swallow. Thanks to a strong wind (as seen by the ruffled feathers) the flying swallow hung in mid air for a half a second giving me this shot.
