These swallows I am guessing had 2 broods this summer, as their babies are still asking to be fed. They were hanging around at a rocky promontory at a fishing port in Northern Nova Scotia...a beautiful spot.

Nice shots, Ian, but these are barn swallows, not cliff; they have no white on their forehead and have a white band across the tail. Other than that, well done.

Gotcha! (Edits made) Thanks Al. I just used east coast logic there...there were no barns real close by, and they were playing around near some cliffs ;).

I like that kind of logic, Ian, but you're still wrong. LOL

So you did get some! A fine series there Ian. I was thinking when I saw Barn Swallows that these could be the second brood of the year.The warbler is a beauty too.

Edit: I should've read your post, You suggested the same thing!
