Something in the Air…..

When I walked the dog this morning I noticed dozens of swallows swooping and soaring on the east side of our building. Zipping through the air in seeming random fashion. Later in the morning, during our second walk I noticed even more flying around above the bike path. Back inside and sitting at my desk by the window on the third floor I can continue to watch them zoom back and forth at eye level.

There must be something hatching and the swallows are making every effort to catch each and every whatever-it-is. They have been outside all day without let up. The low grey clouds make them quite visible….but they move so quickly it's hard for me to begin to capture the dance. If you look closely you will see a dozen in my poor attempt at photography.

Gliding, turning, wheeling and floating through the sky….eating on the fly.

I wonder if they will be back tomorrow?
