I was trying to catch them in flight but they are like little Jet Fighters.

Enjoy!

Remarkable photos! Thanks for sharing. :grin: Love how they keep their little "landing gear" so close to their bodies while in flight.

Great pictures! I love the 5th one! That has got to be what an angle's wings would look like.

Excellent pix, Chriscreole! I'm printing your photos and will use them for identifying males and females in flight. They are really great shots! :!:

Are all these martins adults?

All the wildlife on earth are the angels we dream of, some of us just haven't realized it yet.
