I had to make a run out to the Scout store just south of Apopka, FL. Cubs needed some belt loops and achievement pins and such. It was a nice day but I only had a short time in the middle of the work day.
On the way back out to the van I heard some calls far overhead. I couldn't determine exactly where they were at first. The echoes off of the building were a little distracting. Eventually, however, I spotted some soaring shapes in the clouds.
Once I spotted them my steps quickened. I nearly broke into a run to get to the camera! I have seen Northern Rough-winged Swallows flying by before but never had a chance to get a shot. I managed a few but they all turned out like this.
Still, not bad for them being so far above me. The birds drifted south on the winds as they called and darted. In a few minutes they were out of sight and out of ear-shot.
Right place, right time.
