Baby Barn Swallows - The Choir Over the past couple of summers, I've had the pleasure of finding a number of Barn Swallow fledglings in Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park. They usually sit on a cattail while chirping madly and trying to convince their parents to bring them some food.

From a photography perspective, this is a tough shot to grab. The birds usually only start chirping once they see their parent and the food is delivered in mere seconds. It takes a bit of good luck to get a shot of this, but when it works, the results are a lot of fun!

For reference, the first shot was captured with the following settings: 1/1250s, f/6.3, ISO 3200 (the light was fairy limited as it was quite overcast this day).  Dinner for Four

If you're curious as to how fast this whole scene played out, here's a video to give you a bit of an idea.  Baby Barn Swallow - Live Action
