hey you… beat it!
It looks like the Barn Swallow perched on the phragmites is warning the incoming bird to keep away from his spot. But you would have to be a Barn Swallow to know what sort of social or antisocial behavior is happening here. There wasn’t room for both on the delicate perch and neither bird ended up with the spot. Barn Swallows are the most abundant swallows in the world. They breed here on Delmarva and throughout the northern hemisphere and many winter in the southern hemisphere.

Thanks Pat! These little guys are pretty difficult to photograph. They move around very fast. I’m happy with this one!!!
