My Babies

I took these photos through the glass panel of my front door, while standing on a short ladder. I had tried this just outside the door, but the babies ducked down, and the parents got very upset with me.

I beat a hasty retreat back inside. Here you see the mother clinging to the side of the nest with her swallow tail while feeding the babies.



The mother is done and is flying off to her never-ending task of getting more food.












You can see one baby on the left....The one on the right has his rear end hanging out beyond the nest.....and, you can guess why. No, you never want to soil your own nest! People should be as smart. :-)
