Birdies

We have been watching a new batch of swallows brewing in the same nest as earlier this year.  The babies have hatched!

This year has been very birdy for me.  If I was to slap an icon on this whole year it would be a bird.  I've been enjoying this nest with different broods of swallows, I watch hummingbirds at my feeder, one bird used to gripe at me if I was sitting on the porch because it felt like I was threatening its nest, I had a bird seed feeder up for awhile until the fat buggers ate all the seeds, I got to pet a chicken, I almost held up Lytle traffic the other day because I was watching a duck family cross someone's front lawn.  I'm quite wingy myself, too.
