Description
I took this photo of a nest of swallow chicks nearly ready to fly several years ago. Our barn in West Michigan is filled with swallow nests, and we have a quite large flock that returns here for nesting each year in early April. They do such a great job of keeping our barn, yard, and pastures free of many pesky flies and mosquitos, it's quite amazing!

Thanks, Marsha! The barn swallows are back for the summer, so within a month or so I may see more of these cute little faces looking down at me!

Oh, my, what a group of interesting faces! We have cliff swallows around here, and I love them swooping around in the evening, before the bats come out. How lucky you are to have these guys in your barn. Wonderful image! l/f
