I finally ended up buying an app called iBird Ultimate to help me identify birds. So now, I can identify a total of five birds. Yes, progress is slow. Here are pictures of tree swallows.
1. A Blue Bird
2. A Blue Bird 2
3. Bird Talk
Thanks for looking.

Re: Tree Swallows
I really like the bird talk one, birds know how to engage in conversation with enthusiasm and that image does it justice.

Re: Tree Swallows
Great set. The second reminds me of Al Pacino saying are you talking to me? ( I think it is Al Pacino).
The third one has great symmetry. If not for the minor differences one would think each is a mirror
image of the other.

Re: Tree Swallows
Excellent series. That last one though takes the cake.
Re: Tree Swallows
Thank you for sharing, Almazar80;
Each one these photos comes with its own story, intact. Very impressive timing of the expressions in each.
I can't choose one over the other. Well done.

Re: Tree Swallows
Wonderful bird pictures. I love the eye contact in the second and the interaction in the third - top stuff!
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.
Re: Tree Swallows
Thank you for the comments. It was extremely luck to be able to get the third shot. I still have a lot to learn about birds and their behavior patterns. I was at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge looking for egrets (no luck). The deer flies were swarming (they don't know what insect repellent means) and I needed to find an open sunny space. So I walked towards the end of the trail. Lo and behold, swallows. I guess you never know where opportunity will come knocking.
