As you may know, swallows at this time of year start gathering together in very large numbers in preparation for their migration to Florida and Central America.

In Massachusetts, they often rest on our beaches in the early morning. Sometimes they even sit still for a few seconds.

Please consider opening in full view.

All comments and critiques are appreciated.

Best,

Matt

Nice low angle shot. Details look very nice on the large file size. Lovely soft light.

Hi Matt, this is a really cool behavioural shot. I have never personally seen them resting on the beach so this is a unique setting to me. Great details when viewed larger too.

Thanks for looking,
