Sex education...tree swallow style

On my walk in the park today, I had several interesting experiences. It was hard to decide which to share with you, but I decided to go for this dramatic photo of the amorous tree swallows. If you would like to see the entire episode (12 pictures), you can click here and scroll through them on my nature blog. I just never know what interesting sights I might see in the park.

My extra photo is the very first red-headed woodpecker I have ever encountered in my neighborhood park. I've seen them elsewhere, but never saw one in my 15 years of walking in Chagrin River Park. Today's photowalk was pretty exciting!
