A Tree swallow coming in for a landing!

Maria and I ventured over to Toronto today to spend the morning in a waterfront park. Lots of trees swallows at this location, so we decided to try to catch some flight shots.

Coming in for a landing to its nest box, this bird was about 7 inches away from the touchdown point. The landing gear is up and ready, with the air brakes fully operational.

I hope to give this shoot another try soon, and switch over to the Sony A9 camera.

Thanks for looking!
