I found shooting these amazingly fast birds(possibly a swift?) a challenge.This was the only shot of one that I got on this day of shooting.
UPDATE:The consenus is that this is a barn swallow.Thanks for the input all.

I'm also thinking this is a swallow. Beautiful capture Rick! :)

Nice catch... I have to agree with the near impossibility of catching these little buggers... so darn fast!

I'm thinking more along the lines of a Barn Swallow because of the forked tail, the shape of the body and they are incredible flyers, making fast turns.

You did very well. I have tried it, it's like shooting a single raindrop - pure luck!
