    Swallows in the Forge!

    Of all the places they could have nested, these swallows decided to nest on the chimney inside my forge. I have not been able to do any work in there for months now! Once hatched they come & perch on the sill above our flyscreen doors on the main house, hell of a mess on the flyscreen doors &...

    Feeding time

    I had a fantastic day today at Burton Mere Wetlands and took loads of great shots. I don't feel guilty at sharing three shots of the same event. I watched the parents fly to and throw feeding the three juveniles for over an hour literally within touching distance. It was a humbling experience...

    Preparing for migration

    Each morning around 8:30 or 9, juvenile Barn Swallows gather with a few adults on the utility wire, the only time of day I see them gathered like this. This photo is from Sunday morning, August 10th, but they were there again this morning. I've counted as many as 12 lined up on the wire at the...

    Two Barn Swallows on left, two Cliff Swallows on right. I'm pretty sure they are all juvies. Only a couple more weeks and they will be starting on their long trip south.

    When I look at the photos of swallows I took on that day, I wish I had used my monopod because i was struggling with the weight of my camera and lens.

    Barn Swallows, North American subspecies

    This pair of Barn Swallows was guarding the nest they had built on a house that my cousins had rented on Deep Creek Lake in Swanton, Maryland. The pair flew around us for a while, then perched on the roof of the adjacent house to observe us. Female on left, male on right (I think).

    Barn Swallows guarding nest

    Here is the pair of Barn Swallows who arrived on April 22nd. They seem to have chosen the nest that was built last year on a nearby building. Whenever I approach the building, one or both swallows are perching on the utility wire next to it, as in this photo. They are very patient with me so...
