Feeding Time

By now some of the birds have fledged their first brood and the young have left the nest or as in this case the cavity. Well even though they have left and can fly they still expect to be fed. These three waited patiently while mom/dad went for tasty insects. I sat and watch for sometime and was impressed that they took turns feeding different young. The birds pictured are Tree Swallows. They are cavity dwellers like bluebirds and often use bluebird houses. They are a beautiful bird with snow-white underparts, and glossy teal-blue upperparts. They are a summer resident and many winter in Florida which I think is a good idea.
