Swallows eggs

So far we have found several broken egg shells near the sweet swallows nests. It is kind of sad. It seems like the birds often have to fight other birds for their nests...we think this is when the eggs get knocked out. We have also seen some quail near our bird feeder... They have the sweetest call.

Swallow's nests...

These are the nests we are observing.  One of them we know for sure has an egg.  I will download that one later.

Here is another nest:

Here is a blurry image of the nest with a bird.. the mom in it.

This blog is about all of the great birds that I discover and watch with my family.
Lately we have been feeding a lot of birds.. I imagine I feed the large bird feeder several times a week.
We are also watching some swallow's nests.
