On April 14th, our tree swallows returned. All at once. One moment, the sky is quiet. The next, it is full of sweeping flight and swallow songs.
Which triggered me to get the bird houses out of their winter storage, cleaned, and back up on the fence line.
David got busy to build some new boxes designed for the bluebirds but also favoured by the swallows.
The birds quite literally followed me along the
fenceline, checking out each house as I put it up.
And then, today, the 17th, I spotted the bluebird down the pasture. All of which makes my heart sing.
They were no doubt happy to move in!
