    What a super picture. Swallows are one of my favorites. When I lived in the country, I had a bluebird trail and tree swallows would compete with the bluebirds for the nest boxes. They are so gorgeous and make lovely little nests lined in feathers. I also had a few barn swallows and a colony of purple martins which are members of the swallow family. I so miss them but there are too many trees where I live now and swallows/purple martins prefer more open spaces. When I sold the house, my main desire was that the buyers liked birds -- they did so they got a quick training session on caring for purple martins.
