Barn Swallow Babies - Day 5

The Baby Barn Swallows hatched (June 20 2017)! Today is June 24nd(Day 5). We have been watching the nest since spring, waiting for this day. There were 2 eggs in the nest on May 29.

The preferred habitat of the barn swallow is open country with low vegetation, such as pasture, meadows and farmland, preferably with nearby water. This swallow avoids heavily wooded or precipitous areas and densely built-up locations. The presence of accessible open structures such as barns, stables, or culverts to provide nesting sites, and exposed locations such as wires, roof ridges or bare branches for perching, are also important in the bird's selection of its breeding range.
