Tree Swallow At Sweetbriar
Saturday, June 11, 2011,
This is a male Tree Swallow. He and his mate are nesting in a Bluebird box at Sweetbriar. Look at that color. I included the second pic just to show more of that beautiful blue on his back. What a handsome bird. JK

Baltimore Orioles At Sweetbriar
Monday, May 30, 2011
Sweetbriar Nature Center has a new attraction. A pair of Baltimore Orioles has set up shop in a tree adjacent to the barn. These birds always make me say wow. If you live nearby, come down and say wow yourself. This is a real treat. And a visit to Sweetbriar never sucks anyway. There’s always so much to see.
Both parents are tending to the little ones. In the above shot Mom is checking in. Moments later she wholly disappeared into the nest where I assume she was sitting on her brood. I’m don’t think the male does any sitting but he does stick his head inside to count his progeny. He’s very proud.
