Nest completed in parking garage at work. Chicks hatched, mother barn swallow now busy feeding them. Had to wait a while behind a concrete column to snap this one for the August 'Snapshot' side challenge.

Cool capture! It amazes me that those nests stick to the wall like that. I hope you weren't 'dive bombed' by the parents too much. hehe

Is this made of mud too? It's fascinating to see what creatures instinctively know to do. It must have been fun to watch this progression.

I don't think I've ever seen the mother bird actually feeding a chick. As far as sticking the food in the baby's mouth. Cool.

This is one of the purposes for snapshots in my book - to remind us of something. In this case, you've enjoyed watching the process - this will remind you of that! Good catch, too - these guys are fast!
