The Baby Neighbors

These little guys are newly fledged barn swallows. (They may even have the same parents that tried to build their nest under Auntie Violet's front door awning earlier this summer!)






They spent a couple of hours this morning sitting on the wire from the motor home to the antenna pole.





They hung out on the wire while Mom and Dad flew back and forth bringing breakfast to them --







It was terribly windy again today. By eleven o'clock or so we had to bring the awning in as it was slapping way too hard. The field across the road and up the hill from the coulee had been weeded for a second time a week or so ago (the weeds had all come up again after the first weeding with all the rain...) and the hill was blowing pretty badly. There's been lots of dirt and dust in the air all day!
