So of course the tree swallows were soaring and swooping in the meadow while we were throwing feathers, did not approach us. As soon as we all tossed, the wind blew the feathers right back into our faces! Pretty funny.

Some of you might remember from last year that I balance on a step ladder with my point and shoot camera in one hand while I look into the nesting box. This is what I saw this a.m. in the tree swallow box. Very out of focus, but hopefully you get the idea.

Yep, those feathers came from my pillow!
