Watching a Tree Swallow nest

Manzanita, OR(Zone 8b)

Boy am I drooling on that flight photo-another great job!

Seems these tree swallows are taking an awfully long time to raise their young. This is my first experience so I don't have much to compare. But I finally see a lot of peeking so I assume something in there is about to fledge.

Leaving with a fecal sac. Didn't realize they did that. Their nests are so messy when they leave, compared to a bluebird's.

I got two shots of her before she got completely out of range.

Great job with capturing those in-flight shots Dave!! Their wings look a lot longer than I thought they would.

Great captures Dave! These are such sweet birds. Mine have left now and I already miss them.
