Hope you enjoy my tree swallow series, with a little bit of story.

#1 First, I'd like to introduce the man of the house

#2 And she is the better half

#3 They were interestingly noisy, I think there's something going on. The husband in this shot is getting an earful from the wife

#4 I think he had enough

#5 He is in control of his house
IMAGE: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5151/6917456608_27966fce09_b.jpg


#6 But not after some last words from the wife!

#7 You are going to clean the house or you are sleeping outside the house!
IMAGE: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5316/7063538757_81a773c0b9_b.jpg


#8 I'd rather sleep outside the house

Great series, looks like it is lawyers on standby for those two.

Thanks Lester, and great idea! I think I might be able to find a lawyer for these 2 not lovebirds :)

What a good time series! So very much Tree Swallow.
Now, I am very impressed with the blood vessels showing in the first shot. Great work Joe.

Beautiful Swallows Jo!
They are such elegant looking birds and you've captured that in fine fashion.
The captions are hilarious and probably not far from the truth - :). I'd imagine conversations like this are going on all over the bird world about this time of year.
