a second hatch!
They fill the barn with song, twittering and calling. They fill the barn with wings. They fill my heart. It horrifies me that they are now a species of concern, due to pesticide use and habitat loss. They eat 700 mosquitoes a day, they HAVE to catch insects in flight. They do no harm to anyone, and are beautiful beyond belief. With these five nests, we will add about 15 more to the sky. Fingers crossed for a safe migration. The photos of the hungry mouths are by Brendan Jaekl. This was yesterday. They are all out of nest today. (the adult bird photos are from Brian Floyd)
