A Tree Swallow hunting for lunch in a meadow of long grass. It is always so rewarding when you can capture them in focus... they move so so so fast!

“Bound to the Breeze”

Genre(s): Wildlife Photography, Bird Photography


This image catches the same tree swallow just after taking flight from the fence. The bird is mid-air, slightly above the wire, wings fully outstretched in a graceful arc. You see its back facing the viewer more directly this time, with the metallic blue plumage gleaming under soft, natural light. The white belly and undertail are still visible, contrasting sharply with the darker wing feathers. Its legs and feet are curled up beneath its body, no longer gripping the wire. The background remains a painterly blur of springtime greens and earthy tones, emphasizing the swallow’s swift movement and the sudden release from its perch. The photograph conveys a fleeting moment of liberation and upward momentum.This is a close-framed photograph of a small songbird—a tree swallow—perched on a single strand of wire fencing. The bird faces right, with its body shown in profile. Its feathers are an iridescent cobalt blue on the head and back, transitioning to pure white on the throat and underside. One wing is lifted straight up, feathers fanned, as if the bird is about to spring into the air. The wire runs horizontally across the lower third of the image, gently curving under the bird’s weight. Behind it is a soft, out-of-focus backdrop of spring foliage in muted greens and browns, giving the impression of a quiet woodland edge. The overall mood is one of poised energy and imminent motion—freedom held a heartbeat away.

Tree swallow! Stood still, looked the camera. In bright sun. How does this even happen?!

Tree swallow in bright sun. Perched adopt a narrow vertical tree branch. The background is fully blurred but a vibrant spring green. The bird is making direct eye contact with the camera, and color in the eyes seems visible, perhaps a light green surrounding the large black pupil. The feathers are a shimmering turquoise on the head and wings, with a white neckline and the feathers ending in gray.

Dipped in Blue

Tree Swallows don’t wait around—but if you do, sometimes one lands just long enough to make your morning.
