Mother Swallow Leaving

[holyoutlaw]

There's a tree swallow nest in a pipe we can see from our kitchen. Over the previous weeks we've seen the adult swallows come and go, and now we can hear the chicks peeping for their food. The parent swallow has just fed the chick and is leaving again.

Very cool. We have barn swallows where I work who ecstatically swoop over freshly-mown lawn. They are quite exciting to watch fly, they're so fast and do such a steep dive, leveling off inches above the ground.

Thanks. It is fun to watch swallows fly, their dives and swoops. Yeah!
