My good deed for the day - releasing a young swallow that got lost indoors.
They’re getting in lots of practice in preparation for their migration to Africa but this one needs more work 😏
It’s a privilege to get this close to a wild bird 😎
It was none the worse for its indoor adventure 👍

Four barn swallow chicks peer out of their nest. They are getting big and will likely fledge soon. Chantilly, Virginia, USA 18-July-2023.

This juvenile barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) would like its parents to bring it a mosquito or five. Olympus E-M1 II, Panasonic 100-300 II 300mm, f/7.1, 1/640s, ISO 200

Barn swallow bebes. Mom and dad were not happy with me for the 30 seconds I dared venture into their domain...

The following is a Japanese translation.
以下日本語訳です

の子供たちが巣の横から、初飛行をする兄弟を覗き込んでいる。

その下で、親鳥が巣立ちの瞬間を観察し、誘導と援助の準備を整えている。

私は毎年このご褒美をもらっている...
これは、 に引っ越してきた2番目の家族なのだ

kids peer over the side of their nest watching a sibling making a maiden flight.

Below them, a parent observes the fledgling and stands by, ready to guide and assist.

I get this treat every year ... and this is actually the second family that's moved into the timeshare.

A barn swallow hunting for flies at the beach.

I'm very happy with this picture b/c the tail is fully spread and its pattern is really visible.

The last time I tried taking photos of barn swallows, I spent the whole time spinning around wildly, trying to keep them in frame. I only managed to get one halfway decent shot and even that was out of focus.

This past weekend, I finally got a few good ones!

All taken at f/10, 1/1250, 300mm, iso200

Les fotografies les penge jo perquè estaven en la meua càmera, però són obra de @imlauramars qui té molta més paciència i talent que jo.

Do barn swallow recycle nests?

We have had an north facing nest on a beam for years. Yesterday I noticed the nest was gone but then I saw there was a new south facing nest on a different beam.

I first thought the nest had fallen off the beam, but I couldn't find any traces of the old nest on the floor.

Could it be that the swallows dismantled the old nest to create the new one?
