I'm thinking Mr. and Mrs. Martin don't own a welcome mat.

Canon 7D Mark II
Sigma 150-600 at 531mm
1/400 at f6.3
ISO 640

Thanks for looking.  Comments and suggestions appreciated.

This iis a neat image, with lots of character from the positions and expressions of the martins. I also like the composition and the textures of the wood on the martin house.

A very fun shot, Allen.  Martin's do have a rather pugnacious look as do many of the swallow family.  These two are wonderfully so.  I like the rustic look of the house and the post it's attached to.

Outstanding image, Allen. The pose and expression are great, and I like the rustic birdhouse setting. I think this image has lots of sale potential.

A worthy entry for the comedy gallery.  Nice detail and composition.
