The House Of Chirp

Day 260: Once again the swallows have raised a successful clutch in the House of Chirp. This year's tenants are a pair of Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor). They seem to have a time-share arrangement with the Violet-Greens, although I haven't been able to follow their annual occupancy schedule. As for the kids, I've only seen a glimpse of the top of someone's head at the door so far, but it won't be long now before sweet little faces pop out to await feeding. This morning, Mom and Pop were both on the wing, hunting up bugs for breakfast. They waited patiently on the phone line while I filmed, despite the horrible fuss the little ones were making.
