Tree Swallow Babies!!

Well this morning I took a look at the two other boxes around our property - and found Tree Swallows nesting in BOTH! This is especially exciting as I had thought we only had House Sparrows. In fact, I DID see House Sparrow eggs a while back. The Tree Swallows must have thrown them out.

Here is Mama Tree Swallow peeking out at me from her box:







And here are the pure-white eggs (there are currently three) nestled within a lofty collection of duck and goose feathers:







The oversize feathers are a tell-tale sign of a Tree Swallow nest. Here are the two babies that have hatched in the other box (I'll call it Box B):







Well it looks like life is still moving right along! I will enjoy watching these aerial acrobats raise their families this summer.
