The Soprano's.

I had a heck of a time trying to get a clear shot of these tiny squawkers. They were to high up for me to be able to look down on them, so I had to resort to tricking them into popping up. I would make a chirping sound and they would all pop up thinking mom was back with the food. They were to fast for me and most of the shots came out fuzzy or to blurred. I had noticed that each time the flash went, they would all pop up at once, I never did get all 4 at once. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, they are baby Barn Swallows, I was shooting a horse when I could hear this commotion above me, LOL they were just to funny looking to ignore. Taken in Aldergrove.B.C.

Artist Reply: If I could figure out how to locate nesting babies, I would be the first to be there, this was pure luck I stumbled upon them, but so very pleased that I did. Thanks for the comments MJ :)

Absolutely an awesome capture!!! Love the babies, and momma is looking as if to say what are you doing to my babies??? Lovely, well done!!!!

Artist Reply: Thanks so much Tammy :) Momma would stay less then a split second, feed n gone before you blinked. I thought if I got a shot of momma, the babies would be up to, but as you can see, I only caught one with her.
