Great shots, duc .... as always. I haven't seen any swallows, to date. I've heard one Northern Flicker in the woods but haven't seen it. The Osprey have arrived but I have not seen one yet. Several local places have sighted them so they will be here, en masse, shortly.

Duc, I always like your Red-breasted Nuthatch photos. You must get pretty close to them. I haven't tried any closer photos on the ones I have been seeing at my son's house. I assume that the darker breast is the male and the lighter breast, the female. If so, this is a female Red-breasted Nuthatch.
