My name is Amy and I live in the Chicago area.
Besides birding I love to travel. 
BPW: Cliff Swallows
Posted on July 12th, 2009 in Bird Photography Weekly, Travel
On our drive back from Florida last month we took a detour to stop at the Unclaimed Baggage Center shop in Scottsboro, Alabama. On the way we stopped for breakfast in Ft. Payne, Alabama, where we saw a colony of Cliff Swallows.
They were perched on service wires and flying around a man-made stream. The birds also frequently made stops under a pair of small pedestrian bridges that crossed the stream.
These Cliff Swallows were life birds for us and it was a lot of fun to watch their antics.

Nice photo. I especially like the last one with the wings partly spread.
