Close up at dusk...
On the ground, dusting and eating bugs?
We see them every evening around 6 o'clock, sometimes earlier.
This is the first time I have saw so many on the highwires.
About 6:15 most days, they will be swooping down near the ground catching insects on the fly. They have to be a kind of swallow. Their underbellies look golden as they fly in the distance and they have a bright reddish ring under their chin. The tops of their bodies are very dark, blue to black.
They have to be some kind of swallow. I have searched the web and decided they are barn swallows. They must roost in either Clayton's or Frank's barn as I do not have a building close by for them to roost in.
if you shot them they'd be dead birds.
ReplyDeleteI think they are barn swallows.
ReplyDeletethey must be swallows . I can't remember seeing any.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell if the breast is a bright yello-orange. Maybe this is a female barn swallow
