New House Guests

Here are photos I took of a pair of birds that have taken residence at my back door. I am having a fabulous time watching them build their nest and make preparations for their little family who will be here soon. Nature is just amazing!

At first I wasn't sure what these birds were, but after research in the bird book Zach gave me for Christmas I found that they are called Barn Swallows. Little did I know in these first few sitings that I would watch them build a home, hatch eggs, and give birth to 5 baby birds! Those photos will come later in the blog when I finally get things caught up to date!

This little dirt pile will soon be a nest!
