The Swallow-tailed Kite is perhaps the most adept and acrobatic flier of all the raptors.
In some nests two eggs are laid, but the first chick that hatches kills the younger chick. Ornithologists refer to this as obligate siblicide.

I almost deleted last year's "Tree Swallow Friends 2021" album because I only had two photos in it. I just didn't have luck with my Swallows last year, even though they've been nesting in the back yard for years--maybe the same pair. This year is already looking better.
Thanks for Viewing.

There was only one baby Barn Swallow in the nest, which was located under the restroom eave at Moraine State Park, Pennsylvania.
Where were his brothers and sisters? They may have already fledged, since this one looks almost ready to leave the nest, or they may have met an unhappy fate.

Stuck at home while it's raining this morning instead of playing golf there is only one thing to do - trawl through the archives for anything remotely worth posting.

It was a nice day Sunday, but cloudy skies. It was still an amazing site to get this close to this beauty. It seems they work off a clock. Adrian said it start flying around 9:30am. Sure enough, it was right on time and right over my head. The one time I was hoping for a blue sky.

(Elanoides forficatus) Not the best lighting but the best I could do as it flew over my head! It is eating on the wing.
The barn swallow is a true farmland bird, an aerial acrobat of the barnyard. Its nests are preferably built in barns, sheds, and similar structures where it can fly in and out. From April to October, it resides in the Netherlands and spends its winter in southern Africa. The barn swallow is blue-black above. Its forehead and chin are red; its breast band is black. The rest of the bird's body is creamy white. It flies nimbly through the air to catch insects. To drink, it flies just above the water's surface, occasionally dipping its beak into the water. It has a long, forked tail.

I'm not sure what these swallows were talking about but it was a very passionate conversation. Photographed at Cromwell Valley Park in Maryland this morning.
How long does it take for a swallow to fly to Africa? Swallows from the Netherlands migrate to South Africa for the winter. They travel via western France and eastern Spain to Morocco, then cross the Sahara Desert and the Congolese rainforest. Finally, they reach their destination in South Africa and Namibia. The entire journey takes about six weeks.
