I lost a whole brood of tree swallows during this cold snap we had. There were 6 babies in all. Their parents nested late so they did not have much feathering yet to keep them warm. The good news though, between my other two nest boxes I have 11 baby trees swallows getting ready to fledge and in my bluebird box there are still 5 nestlings making a ruckus. Here is a sequence I caught before work today.












The bluebirds that nest in my yard and pretty shy, but I bet that dragon fly made a good meal!

Those little nestlings are s-o-o-o-o-o CUTE! I love how they compete for attention or space. I love the first, but the second and third have to be framed as a pair. They are very funny.

those are some high quality pictures very nice

Cool pic's!

You are blessed to have this in your yard! Very nice images sir.
