A swallow with a mouth full of mud and grass is waiting on the fence of my balcony for its turn to continue building its nest. Today they bring grass and mud to repair the old nest that was damaged by other birds over the winter.
My Tree Swallows have returned! I first heard them Tuesday flying through the yard, scoping out their territory, and by Friday they were landing, calling, and inspecting the boxes. Friday, too, they and the Bluebirds started fighting. Last year, they shared, one pair of Bluebirds in one box, Tree Swallows another.
I assume these are the same Swallows as the last few years. This guy had no problem with my approaching him, chattering back as I spoke to him.
I had a fairly good photographing day yesterday, in the yard with my Swallows as well as along the river.
Thanks for Viewing. (Looks nice in Lightbox)
These beautiful birds are back for another nesting season and I hope to catch many more sightings of them. Full frame image other than a small crop on the left side.

You Can Found The Taxi ! Here ♥
Photo taken at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Burlington Ontario. A few days later all the Barn swallows left and started the long migration south.
'Reflective Watersports'! I was captivated to watch this Barn Swallow drinking on the wing, skimming the water and twisting out of it’s dive, West Yorkshire.
Many thanks for visiting my Flickr pages ...Your visits, interest, comments and kindness to 'fave' my photos is very much appreciated, Steve.
I like the cocking of the head here on this colorful swallow. Captured at the Horicon Marsh a couple weeks back.
It is fun to watch Swallow-tailed Kites fly. They sometimes tilt their forked tail at an angle to their wings and go through the air seemingly effortlessly. It's a good think because they are one of the species that migrates up to ten thousand miles. We have them here in Florida in the Spring and Summer where they come to breed. Before leaving, they form large groups that kettle in the updrafts. Drive around Florida this time of year and you're very likely to see a few soaring above the tree tops, their primary hunting grounds for lizards, frogs and insects, as the one shown here. (Elanoides forficatus)
Was so lucky to get this shot. The light was terrible and I was busy trying to get a shot of the many whitethroat on the hedge line. So for that I had the shutter speed very low to keep the ISO down. When this bit of action happened I forgot to up the shutter speed. Fortunately a couple of images hat the adult swallow still enough, the rest were a blur.
As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated
Stay safe
The way this swallow turned it's head almost completely around backwards reminds me of that scene from that old movie "The Exorcist" 😁. Photographed at Cromwell Valley Park in Maryland on 4/28/21.
