I've been lurking, looking and learning for at least 2 years. It's time to post some photos. These are of feeding time at a Tree Swallow nest in our back yard last summer. Every year they reappear on April 1st or 2nd and head to the same house. This has been going on for at least 10 years, so who knows what generation were on. One year, I had the house down for cleaning when they arrived. They patiently sat on a wall and waited. I set the house out and they were at it in minutes. I quickly mounted it on the post and it was instantly a happy homecoming. They are fun birds to have around.
These were taken with a Canon SX50.
Thanks for looking!

I'm starving. Please feed me.

Thanks for the comments Angela! Tree swallows are so silly. Their flying antics never case to amaze. I'm having a blast with the SX50. It rekindled my joy of photography. I have other cameras but often find this one appropriate.

Outstanding capture. You might want to consider cropping out the top board to create greater impact on your iamge.

Thanks PixelStan77,
I'm very new to PP and all suggestions are appreciated. The wood is a bit blown and distracting.

That seems to take at least 3 days with each brood. Mom and Dad are at it full time with a nest of 4.
