All depends on what light is hitting them.  Tree swallows can reflect greens, blues, even purples in their dark feathers.  Just like ravens.  Technically a black bird, when the light hits them the right way all kinds of different shades can be seen.

Wow, what an amazing close up! How did you manage to find a swallow who stayed still long enough?

I had VERY high winds at my back and as he came in he pretttyyy much for a brief moment floated right in front of me.  Pretty lucky shot especially while in manual mode my thumb bumped my back wheel and dumped my shutter speed down lol.  I had it set at 1/2500 when I started, went through a ton of blurry images wondering (wtf) buttttt had 3 sharp ones, this one being the best of the lot even with the 1/1250 shutter speed.  YUP double fluke, but hey sometimes luck shines through!

This is fantastic.  Thought that "Mountain Bluebird" was cool, but this is really great.  If I may ask, how on earth did you get this wonderful capture?
