In August migrating chinook and sockeye salmon swim up Swift Creek at Valemount, British Columbia, Canada.
Every September, the Vaux's Swifts migrate through Portland and use a chimney at a local elementary school to roost. Up to 10,000 birds gather at sunset and put on an amazing show as they swoop in to the chimney. Hundreds of people come every night to hang out, picnic and watch the show. Occasionally a hawk comes by and provides a little added excitement by trying to get dinner.

I see many more males than females for this species. So happy to have found a cooperative female. Love the two-toned eyes.

Going back a couple of weeks to a glorious morning down at the river. I set up with this oddly tilting dock as my main subject because I loved the light skimming the texture of its boards. I went with a straight horizon, meaning that there's a lot else that's crooked on this swiftly tilting planet. I love my Tamron 15-30 VC, and even moreso now that I've added the Fotodiox WonderPana filter system to it.
Technical Information: Canon EOS 6D, Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD, Processed in Adobe Lightroom CC, Photoshop CC, and Alien Skin Exposure X (Coming Soon!)

An attempt at capturing Swifts flying directly towards me from my garden. Amazed that the 7D II managed to track these at all considering their speed!

Heading down the B5013 and actually managing to stay on the right side of the road.
Couldn't believe it when this turned out to be in focus....
Interesting fact "As the bird is hunting, insects are collected in the back of the throat in a special food pouch and bound together with saliva into a ball called a bolus, which is periodically eaten or taken to the nest. These food balls can contain thousands of insects.

During Swift Response 2023 exercise I was able to attend some practices at Bardenas Reales shooting range in Spain by USAF A10s. No real fire (not even BRRRRRRRT, because of the ammunition) but great flying demos, some of them for the media. A great day!
Small foxes native to short and mixed grass prairies of the West. Found in the Oklahoma panhandle and northwest corner of the state. Exact numbers of wild ones is not known, but they are found in only 40% of their historic range, so it follows their numbers are down accordingly. This one lives in the Oklahoma Trails Exhibit of the OKC Zoo.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
I took over 200 pictures of flying Swifts and only managed to get a few sharp photos.
No fault with the camera, it was more the erratic flying as they twisted in the air whenever they saw an insect.

Swift rescue. Amazed to find this little fella or lass in my daughters room. What an incredible bird to have in the hand. The wings are something else!
Just one of the many decaying buildings at the old, abandoned Swift Meat Packing Plant ruins at the Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas. A couple years before this shot was made, this particular building had been used as a production office during the time when the location was used as a set for a Guatamalan prison on the Fox TV show "Prison Break". Photo taken in February 2011.
Night, full moon, natural strobe.

Taylor Swift tries to control her hair against the wind as she visits St. Paul’s Cathedral with a few friends in London on Thursday (May 7).
The 19-year-old country sensation tweeted, “Went to St. Paul’s Cathedral today. Four hundred gazillion stairs + being scolded three different times for having my camera out = fun.”
Taylor performed to a sold-out crowd last night at Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
