Week 3: Feeding Swallows

We took a quick trip to Spencer Island to test our tripod and lens setups. We happened upon some barn swallows perched on some bare branches. Periodically a swallow would swoop in and there would be a lot of wing flapping before one of them would fly off. Initially we thought the incoming swallows were attacking the perched birds. Eventually I realized that the "attacking" birds were actually feeding the swallows that were perched on the branches.
