This evening I was able to photograph a a few of our feathered friends from in my backyard. Every year we have a return of the cliff swallows to a nest they built on our gutter. This time I was able to not only see the parent birds but the growing baby bird within.

Also we had a lot of ruby-throated hummingbirds fluttering around and I was able to get some nice images of them perched and one taking flight.
