This historic mansion, constructed at 4500 S. Michigan Avenue in 1892, was my favorite stop on today's Open House Chicago adventure. It is currently home of the Inner City Youth and Adult Foundation, which provides support and transitional housing to individuals who have a troubled past and are trying to make changes to better themselves.

This is the second time in 2020 that I have observed mating swifts over the Somerset skies. The prolonged good weather and visibility has been a great help.
Decided to try the 100-400GM today -- it's a little faster, and should be faster focusing as well.
Definitely the clearest photo so far of a Swift. But there is a distressing resemblance to a fish - possibly a salmon.
Up in Vail this weekend and caught a shot of the swift waters running down into Gore Creek from The Mountains of Vail. ENJOY! www.matthewmcewanphoto.com
Swift over Chasewater dam, Staffordshire. Very much a lucky shot but one I have been attempting for a long time.
had a bit of fun with the swifts had plenty of sharp ones but these had some light on them as the sun dropped under the thick cloud
I have found a fallen Swift. He had injured belly. The local vetcare refused to provide any help. I took him home, treated the wound and put in a quiet place. Later i gave him a water. The bird was weak and sleepy or dormant, this way they survive stress and painful shock. In hands he behaved calmly. He has healthy strong wings, 16cm long, it means that he's a grown juvenile that can fly. He has big expressive eyes with blue eyelids, with closed eyes he looks like a pilot in goggles. What i want to note, that his feathers are airy and softer than silk, the skin is very thin, the beak is soft and he's all so fragile - a truly heavenly creature! Next morning he was active, the wound healed well, he wanted to fly away. I couldn't hold him any longer, because almost all our local swifts already migrated. But there were still a few individuals in the sky. So i didn't delay. I let him go, he made a circle near my window and flew away.
God bless you, Swiftie!

I've never really tried taking photos of swifts but there were a few flying around the sea wall at RSPB Frampton Marsh so I thought I'd give it a go. As I expected it wasn't easy but I was quite happy with some of the photos I got
A juvenile Common Swift (Gierzwaluw, Apus apus) took the wrong exit out of it's nest and landed on my attic. A short rest outside and it was gone on the wing.

Well, I am becoming obsessed with adding colorful lines to the images. I think this one turned out good, but it could have been better. Hope you guys like it. She looks amazing by the way! :)

Without you, there is no time
The bee acquires the stillness of a stone
And nature's frantic flap assumes a stationary stance.
Colour fades and life is held as though in heavy glass
The swift, suspended inches from her nest
Will there remain 'til after you return.
