Leetonia residents take flight


This morning I went out to get another picture of the four crowded barn swallows. As soon as they saw the camera they flew off. One landed a short distance away on the fence and I took this picture.

As far as I know this is there first flight. Their parents were a little upset at my disruption of the nest, but knowing these swallows they will be back up near the nest tonight. It has to feel good to be out of such tight quarters.

Several of the other nests have young ones fully flying this morning. I am hoping that means an increase in bug removal.
