I have been taking care of my neighbor's annuals that they planted just before leaving for the Florida Keys. We are having a drought right now so I have to go over there more often than normal - and GUESS WHAT?!... this is where the swallow house is. (grin grin) I woke up very early this morning and decided to go water at about 7:00am. The light was just perfect (better than evening) and I took a few more pictures. I also did some looking on the internet and the brownish bird is a first year breeding female. Next year she will have the same colors as the male. This web site had a lot of good information and now I think I have figured out what is going on. She has been busy inside the box nest building and egg laying. His job apparently is to sit on the top of the box and protect her. So this morning I go to take more photos and he is in his lookout spot on top of the box...
