goodnight Mr. Swallow



There was a dead tree swallow inside one of the bluebird houses we cleaned out for the Winter.  I looked up Tree Swallows in my bird book to learn about them, and my favorite part was the description of their voice, "a cheerful series of liquid twitters."

Such a Victorian description... " he has my permission to land on my shoulder and sing... We are most amused with 'Tachycineta bicolor' "
