Early Mornings and Birds!

There is a deep connect of early mornings and birds. Mornings somehow pump that extra bit of  energy into them. The magical light sets up the birds perfectly, who actually prefer positioning themselves, as if they are sun bathing. Birding in general as well is a hobby that seldom lets you down. A birder never comes back empty handed, because there are approximately ten thousand species of birds on the planet and no single individual has seen them all. That is the real beauty of birding!!!
I often spend hours admiring the most "mundane" birds because everything about them is marvelous. The way they eat, the way the perch, the way the roost as well as the way they move. In this particular instance as well, I spent about 45 minutes sitting as motionless as possible observing this Red-breasted Swallow basking its way to a special memory.

Small birds like this Red-breasted Swallow can be pretty amazing entertainers!
