They are a chatty bunch.
The chatty barn swallow swoops into our homes this Monday morning.
This is a family that is learning life outside the nest just leaving their stable home inside the barn.
It’s a mud nest that’s often built in the rafters of a barn. The barn swallow is a bird that has a sharply forked tail bluish back, pinkish breast, and a cinnamon throat.
We don’t see as many barn swallows as we used to. Maybe there are fewer barns? Or maybe the habitat has changed elsewhere.
Getting breakfast on the wing, the barn swallow it’s our bird-of-the week.
