This Barn Swallow was conducting a little self-cleaning and wing stretching this morning before taking off to do some insect hunting.  I was at Huntley Meadows once again and the park was buzzing with Dragonflies of various varieties.  Below are photos of three different types often found here.

On the way out of the park, I came across a young, female Hooded Merganser, standing on a rock.  It appeared she was resting before practicing some more flying.
