Pam writes, "Our yearly barn swallow guarding her 2nd batch of babies! We are lucky this year in enjoying 2 litters of babies instead of the usual single litter. Mom swallow seems to babysit during the daytime and daddy comes at night and sits on a metal hook next to the nest.
These birds are the coolest and by far my favorite to observe! How they manage to find the same nest every year while traveling thousands of miles to breed is mind-boggling! Some of us have problems just following directions even with GPS!" Comments | Permalink
