139/365: Feathered Visitor

It was a lovely afternoon complete with some much needed sun and warmth! I was actually aiming to capture some birds on my neighbor's roof when this little one decided to stop at our house.

Any guesses to what type of bird it is? Shot with my EF 70-300mm  SS 1/200  f/5.6  ISO 320

No idea what kind it is. But it sure is colorful. Great shot!

I don't know either, but it is beautiful!

According to my hubs (a total bird nerd) it's a Barn Swallow.

I love the colors! Great shot!

Thanks Misty! Confirmed it was a Barn Swallow. His blue head was almost black in the SOOC!
