Barn Swallows 12

I am sure this is not the case of copulating az someone described the duck story - animals also have... let say soul, even if this is not the best and accurate word

Thank you for this pictorial docu-drama. Very Moving.

This is undoubtedly one of my favorite pics having seen it here for the third time. While I'm naturally inclined to cut the little guy some slack for just doing what nature hard-wired his limited faculties to do, if everyone else is going to anthropomorphize his behaviour then I'm going to join in the fun.

 

You sick over-sexed, perverted ball of feathers, stop humping your dead wife's corpse! What kind of demented avian freak would have sexual relations with someone while they are dying of internal injuries and continue to do so after they are dead. Sound stupid? No more so than the ridiculous sentimentality attributed to him above. Can't wait to see it again.

It's so impressional and you can enouncement your perception wonderfully.

Oh, this shot in my country is so popular and some of people see this shot and so worried for these birds, this shot: http://gallery.photo.net/photo/2315348-lg.jpg

and beautiful.

Beautiful.

 

I'm going to pretend I never read some of the other posts about animal sexuality and instead stick my head in the sand and feel wondrous at the emotion a simple barn swallow displays for its' dead loved one. :)

sad, yet beautiful. thank you.

Jay,

 

photo.net = art, and as a result, sentimentality

 

after a truly intellectual and inspiring critique like yours, one would be inclined to think you perhaps belong on some other site, perhaps something related to sex deprivation and the sort. please, let someone point you in the right direction. away.

 

all the best.

Beautiful story...

Fantastic, need a heart of stone not to be moved.

Excellent shots. Picture sequence also narrates the events.

The story touched my heart.

 

In that little body, too little heart filled with so much of love, affections!

Amazing!!

Beautifully photographed, as was stated earlier, a true representation of what photography can really be. A heartbreaking story frozen in time for all. Wonderful.

A sad story....well told.

 

 

Good work.

This is such a sad story... Someone told me these photos are just photos of one bird killing another, shown in the wrong order and that birds don't have feelings, but that's such a stupid thing to say... I know birds have feelings, all animals do. It is so sad to see this bird mourning the other bird.

Hi Wilson,

 

I work as a picture researcher for Hello! Magazine and would like to publish this set of pictures. Can you pls email me at the following address: mramirez@hola.com as soon as you read this message.

 

Thanks and best regards,

Great captures

Excellent stuff. Great story telling in words and pictures.

Moving, Touching!

Thanks a lot, Wilson.

Outstanding presentation. Very sad event, well captured. FS

we hear often about such emotions in animals amd birds in nature - you captured such an episode on vac era - i will say you we're fortunate to get an opportunity to see it happening in front off you and had exceptional presence of mind to capture it - surely admirable - keep shooting and sharing

I am curious Wilson, as to whether you took these images as I have seen them passed around on the Internet. You did say they were originally posted on a Website in Taiwan, so I can't help but question if these are YOURS or taken from a Website. Of course we are supposed to only Post our own images for Rating etc. but that really isn't my issue. I am not angry, I would just like to know if they were stolen from another Website and to know who the original Photographer is. If they are yours, my apologies for questioning you. If they are yours, would you mind furnishing some of the Technical Details. This would certainly help and diminish any others possibly thinking they are not your images. I tried copying and pasting the URL but I arrived at a page that said the 'page could not be found'. It would be nice to know that the excellent ratings you earned were actually for your own work. I am not asking in an 'accusing' manner, I just think it is a reasonable request.

kind regards, Gail

I witnessed this type of behavior with a group of squirrels in front of my home after one got hit by a car. Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me to record the whole thing, but some squirrels even tried to drag the dead squirrel to the side of the road so he wouldn't  get squished anymore by oncoming cars.

Dear Wilson, I am working on a game for kids with images from animal life. Its for developing compassion and empathy and many other valuable character traits. I would be so grateful if you could grant me permission to use this for the game. Thank you
