Thanks Kisha and I agree completely Noah Citizen! I have experienced them more in my adult life then I have when I was younger. Makes me appreciate them all the more!

You're welcome Emily.
The barn swallows are so beautiful and active birds. They represent Spring coming back in Europe and make me remind of my childhood.

The Barn Swallow and the Rufous Hummingbirds are one of those birds that are unusually beautiful when you actually see them.

Thanks! My Vet calls them "intersection swallows" because you always see them while parked at a stop light!
