Northern rough-winged Swallow

Galveston Co, TX

D5, 300/2.8, 1.4TC, ISO 1000, f8, 1/6400

Another Swallow species from last week. Again, the auto-focus on the D5 made this a lot easier than other cameras I have used.

Alan, very well done. I've always found this and Bank Swallow the most difficult of the North American swallows to shoot in flight due to their having more erratic flight than the others.
