Barn Swallows of Talogtog

The mango trees are in full bloom at Brgy. Talogtog (San Juan, La Union) for a few days now.

And where there are flowers, there are insects, particularly in the afternoon when light becomes sweet.

Where there are insects, there are winged insect-eaters... hunters that hawk the insects in the air.

Of course, when feathered insect-eaters congregate predictably in one place, there will surely be a birdnut around, shootings BIFs like crazy, as if this activity will be outlawed tomorrow. :)
