Barn Swallows
This morning one of the babies was on the concrete under the casaport. I watched the parents pay close attention to it and its siblings.
I tried to put it back in the nest with its siblings, but it did not work out. I had expected them to just hunker down. They did not and instead jumped out the nest. OOPs! Well the one I put back stayed. The other two flew off. LOL. So I am sure they were fine. I expect the one I “rescued” was the runt and will leave very soon.
Keep looking!
That happened to me one time when I was checking a bluebird nest. I opened the box to do a head count, and the fledglings jumped out! I couldn’t round them up so I guess they were ready to roll.
Exactly, right!
Ive had that happen too. Hope theyve all made it
If they don’t, they will help another family…circle of life and all that 🙂
Either way it sure looks grumpy like every baby bird 😂 I’m sure they will be fine!
Maybe the grumpy look is to make one feel sorry for them 😂
