They're Back
The swallows that is, even if this isn't Capistrano

Last year some swallows moved in, built nests, raised the next generation then left. We had never had them here before. I wrote a couple of blogs about them and posted some photos. I wondered if they would return here or to their old nesting if the conditions that drove them out of their old area had changed.

I will wonder no more. When I went to the pool today they were there building new nests exactly where they built last years, only there are more birds and more nests. It looks like they wintered well, where ever that is. I will get to enjoy watching the nesting phase of their life cycle once again.

These little guys have amazing built in GPS systems.

 Very cute, Spirit. They are pretty amazing, to be able to find the same spot each year.

 I just love watching the birds Spirit. We regularly put out feed for them so we can sit out on the back porch and watch their antics. So much fun!

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

And this one was poised to do just that if I got too close.

They do make a mess like none of the other birds. And they attack as well!

We have so many out here and so many different kinds. I forgot about that during the time I lived in town. Lots there too but different kinds.

You are right. They are lucky they don't have to fly commercial.
