Pacific Swallow

My Pacific swallow photos are other horrible products from my Indonesia trip where my camera got soaked and the auto focus got messed up. I was working on manual focus and even that was not working well. We were on Rinca Island, part of Komodo NP, looking for Komodo dragons.  



Now an illustration from Birds of the World to see what one really looks like. This is the subspecies Javanica.
Hirundu javanica javanica, the nominate subspecies is found in southern Myanmar, the Andaman Islands to south Vietnam, east to the Philippines, south to the Moluccas and Greater and Lesser Sunda Islands. The following is a range map from Birds of the World for all six subspecies.
