Tree Swallow - Jamaica Bay, NYC

Young Tree Swallow ( Tachycineta bicolor ) - Jamaica Bay, NYC, USA

After a successful morning spent photographing shorebirds at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, I’ve noticed a growing numbers of swallows constantly flying over a one specific part of the pond. I’ve decided to spend few minutes trying to photograph them. Little did I knew, how fun it is going to be. I only wish, I found them earlier when the “quality” of light was better. Nevertheless, my “ few minutes” turned to be over 45 minutes with almost 2000 shots😂. I will share more of them soon 😉
