An overcast day didn't make for the best of photos but I love these fast flying birds. How they swoop crazily over the water.
I keep seeing these nests in the areas where I'm seeing these swallows. Are they from them? Do you know what kind of bird makes these nests?
Yes, those swallows are fast little buggers, so difficult to catch. I believe those are Oriole's nests.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about them being fast flying birds. The way they fly, swooping and maneuvering reminds me of fighter pilots in a dog fight. I've seen their nest on the sides of a house before. Using mud the nest is glues to the side. The nest in your photos look similar in shape.
ReplyDeleteI can never capture a swallow. They are really fast moving and busy little birds. You did a good job finding one at rest.
ReplyDeleteyup, i agree with the 1st commenter that those look like orioles' nests and swallows usually use the mud-daubing method against a building somewhere and these guys use holes in trees too. we have barn swallows here. you've got the cute little tree swallow there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures! Love the details!
ReplyDeletePretty birds! I am not sure about the nests...they look similar to an Oriole nest, but not quite. I am a lot of help, aren't I? LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Lisa. I know swallows build their nest out of mud
ReplyDeleteGood job catching these photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are great shots!
