A quick check on our swallow chicks. Mom and dad have been busy hauling groceries in for the chicks. And, they’ve had to chase the kestrel away several times. A couple of times while they’re chasing the kestrel over the yard, another pair of swallows have joined in. 

Our catbirds haven’t been around today, but there are two hairy woodpecker fledglings that have learned to work the suet feeder.
