New Swallow Gallery:
Don't miss the Barn Swallows and Tree Swallows spectacularly caught in flight, and feeding their fledglings, in the new 2008 Swallows Gallery.

Also take alook at this series, which compares two Barn Swallow photos taken 5 years apart, and with different equipment, but on the SAME BRANCH of the SAME TREE: A fascinating comparison:

Natural History Museum Exhibit: Open Thru 2009
American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th St., New York, New York.
Natural History Museum logo
Photographer Richard Ettlinger is being featured by the American Museum of Natural History and Harry N. Abrams Books for his six-year project photographing the beauty of birds in flight. AMNH will display over 30 images in a photo exhibition running through May, 2009.
   These startlingly close-up photographs of birds in flight offer a visual comparison and contrast; while each species exhibits unique behaviors, there is a commonality in their movements. Among the highlights are Ettlinger's images of a female barn swallow feeding her young in midair, a cormorant flying away with a newly caught fish, and a pink roseate spoonbill gliding through the air.
