Oklahoma Barn Swallow

We drove out to the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve to take in the bison and wildlife. Near the visitors center we came across a group of barn swallows making their home in the eaves of the building. We had fun trying to capture these little guys. They are so active and don't stay still for very long. I got lucky with this guy while he was taking a break.

 

The Tallgrass Prairie Preserve is operated by a nature conservancy with a mission to bring back the ecosystem into this beautiful area. The bison were introduced and now have grown to a population of near 3,000. You will definitely see a lot of bison, but you can also see a lot of birds like this little one. We also found a pullout with flowers that were attracting butterflies. This is a great location to shoot wildlife.
