Our yearly porch visitors- the barn swallows- have finally hatched some babies this year. It has been fun watching them! In early April, while we were at the Grand Canyon, they built their nest- in the exact same place as last year.
Then at the end of April, on Easter actually, we found five little eggs in the nest.
And just yesterday morning (June 6th- which seemed like a really long time to us) the eggs hatched. Here are a few looks at the brand new baby birds. We can't tell if there are 5 there yet but we will keep a watch and post more pictures as they get a little bigger.
We also had an extra visitor this year- a dove built a nest on the edge of our roof. She was very protective of her nest so we didn't get a very close look. But we did see her with one baby bird- you can see it sitting under her- look for the eye to find it.
