Another amazing day. The meadowlarks are pairing up, the trees are singing with blackbirds, and I communed with a vulture.

What a day! The Tree Swallows are back for summer breeding season and they're gracing the skies with their aerobatic flights as they feed. And they're checking out tree cavities for their nurseries. All is right with the world.
What an amazing day! Thanks to the deciduous trees, it's easy to spot hawks and other raptors just hanging out in the trees. They are very patient, up to a point. And it's wonderful to get lucky with some unexpected shots!
