Another cool picture of the Barn Swallow. These were taken with an iPhone so not as crisp and sharp as one would like but still amazing. I've never seen (or noticed) a Barn Swallow before. In fact, never heard of one so this was incredible to see. (Marlborough, CT).
This is a barn swallow feeding its young in my friend's barn. We live in Connecticut and she has a horse barn and has barn swallows that return year over year. She has well over a dozen active nests.
