More from my Great Midwest Birding Adventure, mostly in spite of the weather.

I think it's funny that I had to go to Indiana to get decent pictures of a fucking shorebird.

I call this next one, "Crouching Swallow, Hidden Dragon".
Tree Swallows by Lou FCD, on Flickr
It was like Swallopalooza out there. I saw a lot of mixed-species flocks of swallows, and got shots of Tree, Northern Rough-winged, Bank, and Barn Swallows in each of several flocks. It was a Swallowpocalypse.
I added 13 species to the photography life-list in five days, and got much better shots than I had of a handful of birds. Not a bad haul, especially given how cool, windy, overcast, and rainy it was for most of my meanderings.
New species from the trip:
1. American White Pelican 2. Broad-winged Hawk 3. Virginia Rail 4. Lesser Yellowlegs 5. Wilson’s Snipe 6. Horned Lark 7. Northern Rough-winged Swallow 8. Bank Swallow 9. Black-capped Chickadee 10. Golden-crowned Kinglet 11. Yellow-throated Warbler 12. Purple Finch 13. American Goldfinch
