I had a couple of tree swallows checking out a new bird house that I just put up...they flew around for 3 days deciding if it was right...Guess what? Some other birds ending up moving in...I guess they should of been quicker to start building a nest... _________________

Those swallows are beautiful! Ours are only black and white, but very graceful. I've seen similar things happening in our bird houses. _________________ The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. -Bertrand Russell

They are very cute. Most of the swallows around here I don't get to see. They hang out more at the farms. Sometimes when we are out riding our bikes I get to see them but they don't come to my house. Thanks for sharing. Nice pics. _________________ Everything has it's beauty, but not everyone sees it. ~author unknown Terry
