Barn swallow

For the second year I have a couple of swallows nested under my porch. It’s so fun!
They are upon my window where  my computer is located, so all day mom and dad flying back and forth to feed the five kids.

Today, they flew out and all five resting near the nest and return at the evening. They remain a few days and will blend in with the rest of the swallows from the neighborhood.

I can enjoy this so much.  But they are just like the birds inside the house; they poop also, and a lot!  Because I learned from last year, I have to place some newspapers under the nest to reduce the “greatest damage” and refresh every few days.
