While down at Kathy’s parents, I saw a bunch of birds dive bombing each other over the field. Then one landed on a bird box. I thought it was an Eastern Blue Bird. Turns out it was a Tree Swallow. Not having a tripod, I used the next best thing, which still was not stable enough.
A makeshift steady support – deer fencing around a tree.
What I thought was a Blue Bird.
The actual Blue Birds have always been hard for me to get a good shot. They are finicky and don’t sit long in the same spot. This guy was preening himself.
Heading over to the barn, this goose was on the lookout for his mate…
Who is on the nest, keeping the eggs warm.
The barn – ready to come down soon.
And that quick, he is gone. Another nice weekend!
Very nice.
Thanks!
Like the turtle, our summer like day went too quickly!
Such wonderful photographs. I just love them! Xoxo

Thank you!
I tended nest boxes for a while, and all of them were filled with either tree swallows or bluebirds. The bluebirds tended to get out of the way as I counted the hatchlings, but the tree swallows were aggressive dive bombers. Great photos!
Thanks! Love just kicking back and watching these guys.
