I tried something a little different this morning. Instead of taking my normal walk I chose to hang around by the Anticline Fishing Pond and see what came my way. I wanted specifically to shoot swallows and I did get a nice Barn Swallow in flight for today’s featured image. I also got the two raptors pictured here (two different shots in the same location) an Osprey and an American Bald Eagle. Funny thing was that I thought I had taken two Ospreys and only realized I got the eagle as I reviewed my shots later.
