It’s a BOY.....and maybe TWO GIRLS!!!!

I wish I could actually confirm that to be true but I can definitely confirm that the eggs of my barn swallow friend have hatched. I recently shared a post about a barn swallow that was intimately occupying my door ledge during my sleeping hours. While I wanted to believe our extremely shallow relationship was solely about me, the wait is over and I could see at least three very tiny mouths peering out from the nest this morning. @BorrisS

@CatC さん、こんにちは。

ツバメの親ですね。

子供のために餌を採りに行ったり、巣を守ったりして一生懸命に子供の世話をしている様子が伝わってきます。

素敵なお写真をシェアして頂きありがとうございます。

私もツバメを撮影したので写真をシェアさせて頂きます。

僅か0.5秒間の出来事でした。

ツバメのスピードの早さには人類は敵わないと思います。

Hello @CatC ,

Thank you for sharing these cuties with us, life is wonderful!

I don’t know that much about birds, but I’ve read somewhere, in order to distingues between the boy and the girl it’s a matter of colors, at least in some species. Later on, when they grow up, shape becomes a distinguishing element too.

Thank you for sharing that information @BorrisS - I actually hadn’t got that far! :smile::smile:
