Swallows building a nest @ my sister's house on the front porch light, pause, pose and wait impatientley for me to take a few shots with a too big lens, at too close a distance with post storm sun peeking out intermittently and messing with my head and camera settings.
Hope this shows up.

I like the angry pose here. The exposure is a bit hot though. The DOF at f2.8 isn't enough to keep the head and feathers in sharp focus, but I can understand it was probably a low light situation. In a similar situation, I would have probably used a higher ISO and stopped down to the point where you were still at 1/250, and dial back the exposure comp. to keep the highlights from blowing out.
