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.

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.

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.

Females prefer to mate with males that have the longest and most symmetrical tails and a dark red chest color.
The killing of Barn Swallows for their feathers was one of the problems that led to the founding of the Audubon Society and the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.MW

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.

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.
One of my favourite birds is the swallow, when they leave at the end of summer my heart drops and winter is just around the corner, but in late spring I start to watch out for their return, and I still get as excited at 51 years old as I did as a young man. Their return signals long sunny days and warm evenings, watching them dart around the sky, chattering and laughing as they catch bugs and take them to their baby’s. I’ve been so privileged to be able to watch their lives unfold this year as the new house has provided a sheltered nesting site in the stables for many years. This little bunch of baby’s will be filling the sky with chattering joyous fun any day now. I just hope they return safely next year to make our lives just that little bit happier and enjoyable.

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.
