Correction- Bank Swallow

"Kurt's shot of his male Barn Swallow reminded me of some I took 2 weeks Back."

Turns out these are Bank Swallows, Thanks Dan.

Plenty of nice shots posted while I was away on vacation. Too many to comment individually, so good job everyone. smile

I managed a few shots so here are the first.

Pileated Woodpecker

Posted By Robert Watters
This is my first sighting (and of course pics) of this bird. These things are huge!
This male was about 10' away right off our balcony deck when I first seen him so these shots are through the glass door. Come to find out this is our largest woodpecker species. What a treat it was to see him so close, and to top it off he was feeding a young one that was traveling with him nearby.

I am so used to the Black-capped's song that it took a while to get used to seeing an identical bird but singing a different tune. wink

Of some sort. I haven't been able to ID it 100%, Sibley's is on its way. smile

Rho Ophiuchus region

Posted By Robert Watters
This is from my regular D-Rebel and the cheap 18-55mm kit lens @ 45mm and F5.6.
9 shots of 5 minutes each @ ISO800 were combined. I really thought I would pick up more of the dust lanes and reflection nebula. sad
