I’m a bit bummed. I’m not sure what happened, but every time I’ve walked out the front door this morning, one of the baby swallows (4), is laying dead on the porch...they were way to little to be trying to fly, anyone have a clue why they would be jumping out now?

I think, but am not sure, that my cat may have gotten one of the parents yesterday, there were a few feathers on the porch, but at the time I didn’t think much about it, now I’m wondering. Maybe one parent couldn’t keep them fed well enought??? I’ve seen one come and fly to the nest...so I know at least one of them is still coming.

I think I told you that that same thing happened to my baby swallows last year, but it was 3 at one time with mine. I have no idea why. I put them back but they didn’t stay. :-(
It’s a real bummer!

A few fell out of the nest in our barn also. Maybe they just get too big for the size of the nest, or else they other more aggressive ones push them.

That is acceleration on the first photo. They are heading for the third barrel. As you can see on the second one, Bob hugs the barrels.

Oh no! Well that’s sad.
