The Barn Swallows have settled in. 

One watching...

...and one nesting.

Sunday and Monday were hot with temps in the 80's, but the garage should have been a bit cooler.

  

Sunday morning the Violet-green Swallows were swooping around looking at the nesting box the House Wrens used.

I don't know what was up with that behavior.

I did not get any sense that they were seriously considering taking occupation. 

Nonetheless, it was fun to watch.

They have some serious aerial skills.
