A more cropped version. The swallows were skimming the water for bugs and while some folks can actually track them, I'm not fast enough, I've certainly tried a bunch of times. What I did was pre-focus on where they would be, birds, like mammals, repeat patterns, so I' timed it'. This after blowing about 20 shots trying to track one, which I know I can't do, still try:-)
The sparrows like to hide out in the maple close to the backdoor.
