Barn swallow time
While I am couped up inside for the winter, a search of the archives found this unusually crisp image of a barn swallow (typically my swallows come out fuzzy due to slow shutter speeds trying to catch up to these high speed birds)
Winter loon
A common loon looks less exciting in the winter and is found in coastal ocean shorelines and bays instead of inland lakes during summer time.
