Description
"C'mon honey, ya gotta help me build that nest!"
"Sounds fun but I'd rather hang out here and watch the photographers".
This is my tongue-in-cheek imagined conversation between these two Barn Swallows. :) It was spring and time for nest building by a large culvert where many swallows were building nests in anticipation of having babies.
A familiar little bird in rural areas and semi-open country, the Barn Swallow gracefully skims low over meadows, water and farmyards looking for insects to eat, or perches on wires. During the breeding season, Barn Swallows fly down to pick up mud and grass for nesting materials. Their mud nests are often tucked under the eaves of barns, stables, or bridges, or other structures. You can find Barn Swallows across most of North America, as well as Europe and Asia, wintering to southern Africa and South America.
Photo taken on May 26, 2022, near Longmont, Colorado.
