This Pacific Swallow looked like it has an anomaly (cyst?) at its throat, and was certainly not the best groomed specimen I've seen. It was about to land on a bamboo stake in the middle of a fishpond when I captured it. I cloned out the perch to simulate a raptor stance, one that's about to grab a prey.
