I promised a respondent to another post that I would add more photos of a feeding sequence that I thought was interesting. I added them, but it was a while later after the thread had run its course and it doesn't look like anybody even saw them. So I'm reposting just that new series in the BIF Forum.


Here is the sequence of an adult Tree Swallow coming in too hot and tumbling both of them off the branch. Neither was harmed in this interaction and I'm sure it was a good life lesson for the young one.

And in the midst of all that action it looks like they also even dropped the intended meal!

Thanks, Joe, glad you liked them!

These were taken at a local park pond, right off a popular walking track, and the pandemic has really put a crimp in outdoor photo opportunities there since I took these. But hopefully we can get past all that and get back to it soon...
