A swallow is precision. Flying figure eights around me, one takes bugs on the fly, never missing a beat. Smooth rapid flight sorties, altered just a little as it rises to its snack. There is an audible snap when it hits its quarry. Then it makes six laps around me, scores four flying insects, then soars overhead with a chirp, kind of a victory roll on its way to a tree limb.
