Obviously quite pleased with himself as he sits close by, watching Mama Swallow rush back & forth with an endless supply of meals for the youngsters. To be perfectly fair, he does help out from time to time, but I’ve been taking notes - and he spends a lot more time, sitting on his branch than he does with the household responsibilites….. hmmm…. 06/10/20
Yesterday morning, the tree swallows returned - it was wonderful to see them arrive! As we sat with our morning coffee, on the first warm sunny morning of the year… the sky was suddenly filled with their amazing swallow flight! Their must have been at least 20 in the air and dipping over the lake for about an hour, then they gradually disappeared leaving this pair already moving in to their last year’s home. 05/17/20
We have so many Robins! Their song fills the air, expecially in the early morning and at dusk - it is truly the song of summer here on the prairies. 06/07/20
