Aw, look at the laughably precious wide mouths! I wonder if mom and dad look for the bright line to know where to insert food.

June,
I wonder the exact same thing. I’ve noticed that many baby birds share that same bright line on the mouth.

Bev,
Aren’t they?! As I was photographing them yesterday, I thought they sometimes looked like little old men. 🙂

I´m so in love with these sweet sweet fellows! I don´t know Cecil, but she (or he?) must be a beauty too.

C,
They’re so cute and so noisy when mom and dad come around.
We’re actually getting quite a few swallow nests now.. and we’ve actually noticed other types of birds using old nests, so pretty cool! 🙂

Is that some Barnyard hair I spy in that nest? 😉 They sure do look ready to launch!

Flartus,
I’m sure it is. 🙂 One of the five babies flew for the first time yesterday, which is why there were only four babies in the nest at the time the pictures were taken. 🙂

Nancy,
We really enjoy having them here… a bonus is they eat lots of bugs. 🙂

That last shot is absolutely a keeper! Their mouth’s are killing me with cuteness! You certainly have quite a lot of entertainment going on around there. I’m not sure I would ever want to leave for any reason. Well, maybe to get a beer somewhere 😀

Won’t be long now and they’ll be gone. Barn swallows nested on our porch when I was growing up. I was always sad when the kids left the nest. It just seemed too quiet and lonely after they left. 😦

The white beaks look like mustaches, too funny! Lots of swallows is a good thing! Good bug eaters.

They are so beautiful. Love their intent look at you. I was looking at the intricate construction of that nest. It’s plastered against a wall, looks completely symmetrical. And it lasts year after year. It’s amazing. They’re not only beautiful, but so beneficial and helpful. Blessings to the Cecil’s everywhere!

I love swallows. I have a few photos that look just like these, I took in the barn when I was working there. They look so precocious.

I’m glad someone got to have babies. A nest of eggs never hatched and the other nest hatched but mom abandoned the babies. It was very sad. I love their little faces and the sweet noise of babies!
