Crane Beach 2 - Bank Swallows

[Jim B]

The wind gusted bringing smoke from the fires around Montreal fairly thick and heavy at times today. I found these birds in the shadow of the afternoon sun. Bank Swallows can be a blast to watch as they fly in and out of the holes in the sand dunes. Note: I left the sound of the wind in the video to show the conditions. It is not everyday you get to see a swallow blown backwards.
