Trying to rid myself of the birding doldrums, I went out to Arrowhead Marsh this afternoon. The best of the day was watching these three Barn Swallow fledglings out on the end of the pier.
Landing at swallow speeds to await a feed from their parents is apparently an acquired skill. There were many mishaps. Eventually they made it.
Here they are, waiting patiently:
