I had never gotten a really good look at swallows, much less gotten a photo, before this past week. They dart through so fast. So it was a treat when a whole family of them lined up on my gutter for the day.
Most baby birds flutter their wings when begging, looking all helpless and cute. These guys stand up tall and proud, wings spread like little eagles, competing to look biggest and strongest.
If I were a swallow mom, I think I'd be a little intimidated.

This looks like opera - all the characters are very energized and singing loudly at each other.
What a lot of energy in these photos.
I have never seen such fantastic shots of swallows and their kids before. They are simply unique. Yes, they look like little eagles. Such great photos.
