My New House Guest
Lens: DA*300 Camera: K-3II Photo Location: Front of House ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/800s Aperture: F5.6 
Posted By: ToddK, 04-07-2023, 05:42 AM

The barn swallows have taken over our neighborhood, and every house has at least one roosting and/or nesting in their porches. This is one is mine. Thankfully, it is a male and is only roosting at night on my hanging porch light. I thought about naming him, but I am still trying to come up with a name related to the little piles he leaves me on the concrete.

Nice shot of that barn swallow with great colors and detail. You could call him Stinker or Dauber.🤔
