Juvenile Barn Swallow, Point Reyes National Seashore

Photo of a Juvenile barn swallow at point reyes national seashore. — Juvenile Barn Swallow

This young barn swallow and its sibling were being fed by their parents when I came by. As with many critters, especially young ones, they were willing to sit tight when there was food to be had. If not for the food I probably wouldn’t have gotten the photo.

Barn Swallow at Rest Stop

A barn swallow rests on barbed wire. — Barn Swallow Takes a Rest, Point Reyes National Seashore.

I see barn swallows flitting all over at Point Reyes. When I saw this male on barbed wire I was happy to photograph him. There was a male on a post next to him. I don’t normally like to photograph birds on wire, but I liked the way the rust on the wire complemented his colors.
