Tree Swallow Fight

Saw these two going at it while kayaking in Summit Lake last Thursday. Shot from about 50 feet away with canon 7D w/ 400mm F5.6 lens.

Not quite peregrine falcon vs. snowy owl, but it'll do.

Great catch as always, Jason!

What an awesome capture. That is NatGeo worthy, sir.
Shutter speed?

Shutter speed?

Shutter Speed was at 1/3200 @ F5.6, I could have gotten the same results with a bit slower shutter speed just didn't have time to adjust it.

Thanks for sharing. And again, very impressive capture. In addition, TYVM for sharing your Flickr link.

Great photo!

Are those African or European swallows?

That is a great picture. I have 2 nesting Coopers Hawks in my back yard if you want to capture them on film. I can get about 15yards from them on a daily basis.
