Barn and Cliff Swallows and babies July 15, 2009

The whole Cliff Swallow Family, mom, dad and baby (notice how one adult is standing on top of the other)

Love the yellow mouth - makes it easy to see where to put the food

Carol - watching the swallows on the hydro line

Goldfinch

Catbird (not sure if this a juvenile or adult)

Went out with Carol and saw hundreds and hundreds of swallows. First were the cliff swallows feeding the young. Amazing. Then the barn swallows all lined up on the line and every time a train went by off they flew. I tried to take a flight shot and well I just gave up. I was getting dizzy watching them.
