Tree Swallows


The picture of these Tree Swallows fighting over nesting box was taken at the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The picture of these Tree Swallows was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

Spring has arrived at the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife refuge. The Swallows dashing around is one of my most favorite visual experiences at JBNWR.

A Bald Eagle flew over the Jamaica Bay National Refuge and over a thousand Snow Geese simultaneously took flight.

I don’t know which was more exciting the sight or the sounds of all these Snow Geese in flight.
