dive-bombed

i went into the wetlands for to shoot some birds in flight,

but i had no idea they would put up such a fight;

a problem with these swallows that is likely to occur:

if you get too near their nests, they will dive-bomb you for sure!

they swoop down out of nowhere, and it makes you duck and squat,

but if you keep from flinching, you may get your flying shot.

and what is my excuse for my failure here today?

the sun was in my eyes and my beard was in my way.
