Tomorrow will be day 15 since the eggs were laid which is the average incubation time for Violet-Green Swallows so it's possible some of them could start hatching today.
I got in to the nest yesterday when mom was gone and took some pictures, it's very difficult to get a decent picture in that small space.
Watch this space, I hope to have lots of new video of tiny little babies soon!

Oh! Those feathers surrounding those little eggs! They remind me of the piece I just created with Thomas Mann at Bead and Button. I wrote about it on the Art Bead Scene blog today. Have a look! I am fascinated and will come back to check out the progress! Enjoy the day. Erin
