They are hanging around longer than the last two batches, but all flying and being fed while in the air.

Al, they are my harbingers of spring ;) As I have mentioned, been over 20 years now that this species has been nesting in the SAME house! We added two more a few years ago, and it wasn't until this year they were all rented out!

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

They are here, and yet just 5 seconds down the road, there are none, but there are barn swallows! Weird?

Really nice Gail! A pair of VGs nested on my neighbour's dryer exhaust and I was worried about it but the pair was able to raise their young. What a relief! But just like yours, they are always flying and being fed in the air :)


... does it really matter?i see with my eyes, i shoot with my fingers.
