Peeping Fresh

I looked to see how the birds nesting in the bird houses at our place were doing…and there were new babes.  These are freshly hatched tree swallows – a few hours old, at most.  You can see at least three that have hatched.  The mother started with six eggs and is, no doubt, sitting on the still-to-be-hatched stragglers.  In a few hours the hatch should be complete.  Then the real work begins.

I also took pictures of the blue birds that are about a week old.  Watch for photos of them soon.
