Barn Swallows On Rail

What an amazing sight to see as we sat on our boat for the last day of our trip up north.  First we could hear the sounds....where was it coming from?  Then we saw the swarm of swallows sitting on the rails of a large boat a row over.  I grabbed the camera and did my best to sneak up on them.  So beautiful in the light.  And then one by one they flew off and proceeded to reposition themselves in groups at the top of the sailboat masts....
