The Swallows return to Hamburg.

Klamath River, CA

Hamburg is where I live (with the other 80 residents) Klamath River is our Post Office (17 miles from here). The tree Swallows showed up early but then disappeared (I guess the rain ran them off) today they were back and very active checking out the bird houses. I decided that I would do a seperate thread on them since I'll probably be posting pics of them on and off. (8 pics)

Oh, how lovely! My first ever memory of "birds" was of the barn swallows tormenting my cat in the driveway! Swallows are so fun to watch. Enjoy

They are beautiful! That blue color is amazing. They are cool to watch too. I live near a small airport and like to watch the Barn Swallows flying in and out of the hangars swooping up bugs.

Can't wait to see more Adel!

Nice pic!

Are they still house hunting adel or are these all seperate pairs?

Klamath River, CA

There seems to be three pairs checking out the houses but I don't think they've made their choice yet.

Grand-Falls, NB(Zone 4a)

They're beautiful, very shiny feathers. The barn swallow, use to make their nest on top of our bedroom windows, at our farm house, when I was a child. I loved watching them come and go and watching the babies, stick their little head out of the nest for food.
Great pics Adel
