A successful year for Mama and Papa Swallow! Five babies, almost ready to leave the nest. You can see 4, but there is a 5th one behind the two on the left.

Where is their nest? They're the cutest (and messiest) little birds.
Love them Anna! One time near Old Faithful in Yellowstone I was walking near a building that had a significant over hanging roof edge and mud swallows had nests all over it....they buzzed me for getting close....you could tell they were not liking the tourists... Ü
SWEET. They are good insect eaters. We have another type of swallow that set up house keeping in the 2nd blue bird house! The other house has a 2nd clutch (5) bluebird eggs. They already fledged 5 or 6 this summer. :) YEAH
