Tree Swallows Are Back!

Mid-afternoon today was highlighted with the arrival of a couple of Tree Swallows flying over our back yard. This was our first sighting of these birds this spring but it won't be our last. We have a Tree Swallow nesting house available for occupancy and each year, for the past several, we have watched the sequence of activities surround -ing their nesting habits; from the claiming of the house to the fledging of the young swallows sometime around the first week of July.
