Tachycineta bicolor
This particular swallow picked a bad time to try to scratch - a large gust of wind practically pushed the swallow right off the perch.
Found at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY.
Lat: 40.63, Long: -73.64

Thank you everyone, I'm glad everyone enjoyed this little swallow - who did come very, very close to getting blown right off!
Nice series, like 2nd one,
Great series! I especially like the second photo - she looks like she was almost blown off the branch!
Very nice photo. Tree swallows and swallow sp. are really tough to photograph. It looks as though your patience prevailed and you got a great shot.
