Last update on the birdies

This will be the last update on the birdies. I took the top photo a few days ago. They were really getting big.

I noticed yesterday that they didn't really fit in their nest anymore. I decided I better go out today and get another photo before it was too late. They are all grown up now and I was thinking they are going to be leaving the nest soon.

As I was taking the photo and the flash went off one of the birds flew right out of the nest. I am not sure if this was it's first flight but I think they should all be gone in the next couple of days. I haven't seen that one come back yet so now there are 3 in the nest.

View From My Studio

This is part of the view I get when I look out my window from my studio. These are baby swallows and aren't they just the cutest? I don't really care much for this species of bird but I think the babies couldn't be any cuter with their little tufts of hair on top of their heads. I enjoy watching the mommy bird come and feed them. Soon they will be all grown up and 'fly the coop'. This is just one of the things I like about summer. I will try to post some more pictures as they get older
