Tree Swallow

I believe this is a tree swallow. I see them everywhere lately.  They are very fast when they're flying. I love their coloring. Maralee  

Early Morning

We live in an area where during the spring and summer the days are warm but the nights still get very cool. I was walking down at the river one morning last week when it was below freezing and there was steam coming off the water. It was someone ethereal but very pretty. Maralee

Breakfast

Friday morning, mom was at the nest feeding the owlets.  I'm not sure what kind of critter it was but probably some type of rodent. Maralee

Bedraggled

We had a very heavy rainstorm come through Monday night.  Looks like mom/dad sat vigilantly through the night in the pouring rain but looked a little bedraggled in the morning. Maralee
