BABY SWALLOWS IN A NEST

in nature •  6 years ago 

This was a cool one to see so close!


Often, when we see swallow nests these days they are mounted high beneath bridges, far out of visibility for us. Today we found a much closer nest though, and the zoom lens brought us in even closer. I've always enjoyed these graceful, swooping birds, and meeting the next generation while they were still in the nest was very cool! In total I think there were four baby birds, but one seemed shy, so most photos just show three. Check them out!

CHECK THESE GUYS OUT!

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

BA BA BA Bird Bird Bird, Bird is the word! I caught a bird last Sunday Papa Pepper. I believe it was an Eastern Phoebe. Cute little guy. About the same size as these Swallows.

Are you a bird lover? Or do you cultivate birds @papa-pepper

I think I like all creatures! We have some birds that we raise, but these are wild.

oh the little birds 🐦 are so cute! have a great day GREETINGS

Sure are! Greetings to you too!

They are adorable!!!!

They certainly are!

Will they be flying off soon?? Or they will nest there forever?

Got to love that zoooooooooom lens!

It looks like they built their nest in a building. They are very cute, they look like they've marked their faces like fans at a football game. :D LOL. :D
Thanks for sharing. :D
God bless you and the whole pepper clan. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D

Yeah, I think they've got their war paint on!

So sweet. Was this on your property?

No, this was at a conservation center that we were visiting today!

Great pictures.

They are so cute! Even the little one peeking out past his siblings. I haven't seen babies up this close, because you are right, they do like high out of the way places to have their nests. Awesome photos, @papa-pepper! Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow- what a find! These photos are fab- how special to be able to see them so clise- thank you for sharing them here. I love swallows- they always feel like a new beginning as the summer arrives and it's sad to say goodbye in the autumn. E x

Yeah, it gave us a good, close look at them. They seem so intense and determined.... considering they are just sitting there...

I get that intense and determined around meal times too :)

Gaze into the eyes of the Abyss... The Baby Abyss !

Cute and unnerving stares at the same time XD

I know. Very peculiar expression if you ask me!

Look at those little guys!!!

Yeah, totally cute!

These animals are quite valuable, they can produce lots of medicine for us, you have to take good care of them.

Those are some pretty good shots. I like the peak over they are doing. It looks like they are about ready to fly the coup.

I have a very similar nest on my front porch. 5 babies flew away today. Cute little things.

those things are so cute. Great pictures!!
