I think he was grumpy. He didn't seem impressed with the cold morning air. It's as if he were saying, "I told everyone we should stay another couple of weeks down south!"
Pissed or not he was puffed up for the cold and had tucked his beak into his chest to keep warm. He may have been annoyed with me, too. I was trying to inch closer and closer to him and I may have come one step too close for his comfort. Within an hour all the swallows had taken to the air; the sky was filled with them. It was pretty cool. Thanks for the comment and thanks as well to everyone else who looked and commented. In an hour by the lake this (and maybe one other) was my keeper. It was felt good to get one decent one, though.
