My Violet-Green Swallow babies all filed out of the nest one after the other this morning, right on schedule.
Today is day 25 and that is the average time it takes to fledge.
They did everything right on schedule!
After a couple of hours out of the nest one flew back in the nest box and they all spent time on the garage roof. Mom and Dad are as busy as ever keeping track of them and taking care.
Here's a short video of one in the box and one on the roof.
They are a little clumsy landing,
but considering they just started flying a couple of hours ago it's absolutely amazing how well they do!
These little ones are not so little any more and in just a few days they will begin to fledge the nest!
There's almost always a baby looking out of the nest waiting for a meal from Mom or Dad!
Since the babies are spending lots of time with their heads poking out of the nest box I though I'd catch some shots of them being fed. Above is mom about to take off after leaving behind a bug breakfast for one of the babies.
Here's dad dropping off some goodies and showing off his beautiful Violet behind!
Dad, shortly after take off!
Feeding in progress!
One more!
Here's mom perching on the light fixture right by the nest, with one of the babies watching.
This light fixture was used 2 years in a row by Juncos but unfortunately the nests were raided. That's when I decided to put up a nest box right next door and the VG's have used it 2 years in a row.
I'm guessing I'll only have 1 or 2 more blog posts to share before they are gone.
Maybe the little ones will hang around and I'll be able to get some pics of the babies after they fledge.
Today I'm going through the bags of Copper pieces I have already made. I made a ton of pieces for the Whole Bead Show I did last year in New York and still have lots left. I love creating so I just went on creating new stuff when I have so much all ready to go. So this weekend I'll be creating some new but I'm going to focus on listing from my stash!
Here are a few of the pieces I've got listed.
LOTS more to come!!
Some are in my Etsy store and some are on my Website
Links below in my signature!
If you purchase from both shops I will refund the extra shipping.
