Tree Swallow
I had been out photographing some Tree Swallows that were nesting in one of my birdhouses. It looked like the last of the batch was about ready to leave the house. A couple of days later one of the fledglings showed up at by bird feeder. It seemed to be a bit bewildered by all of the activity. Every time a Hummingbird came flying by its eyes became as big as saucers.

Nice Phil, the perch, the pose and the detail all work well.

looks like Uncle Fester from the old Adams Family show---also--he quite pissed you are not asking for a release before taking this image...... send this to Birders!
