This time of year means watching a nest box should provide some good photo opportunities.

In the middle of a group of swallow nests this blue bird moved in.


While this is always fun I need to remind myself to be sure I have a monopod with me. Holding up a long 500mm lens for extended periods means as soon as I rest my arms the perfect shot zooms by….and I miss it.

Nice shots!
Thank you. This is a favorite spot on the Connecticut river. A line of boxes are along the edge of a cemetery, looking over a pretty cove.
