Finally!  The Violet-green Swallows have returned.

They are much later this year, 2-3 weeks, than most years. 

I was getting concerned.

As far as I'm concerned it isn't spring until the swallows are swooping around and chattering at one another and...

...house-hunting.

As of Wednesday, I had three pair of birds and three houses under consideration.  This one...

...this one...

...and this one.

I'm hoping a couple more pairs show up...

Pretty easy to see why these birds are called Violet-green Swallows!

Those birds are so pretty. I am glad it is they who are house hunting in the middle of all this, not you!
