This guy let me come very close to him so I had an opportunity to do a portrait. This beautiful amazing eye can spot a moskito flying over the marsh at a prety far distance. He locks on , chase the insect and catch it without never loose the eye sight on the target.

Great portrait, Yves. They are sure hard to catch in flight, so it's nice it posed for you.

Great title for this awesome close-up of the tree swallow, Yves. Beautiful tones and detail on this very handsome bird.

Very striking portrait Yves. The colour, detail and catchlight in the eye are perfect. Well done Yves.
