Two's Company ...

Two’s company for these sweet tree swallow fledglings – until their mother delivers supper to the nesting box on the second evening of summer, June 21, 2020, at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, then it’s three’s company! But for now they dream about supper for a little while longer.

 

While there are young or eggs in the nest, adult tree swallows frequently dive bomb intruders, including curious humans, and attempt to drive them from the area – I personally know this to be true, and so does my camera!

Birth Of Spring ...


  “I’m youth, I’m joy, I’m a little bird that has broken out of the egg.”
                ~ James M. Barrie
                 ~ 1860-1937
             ~ from “Peter Pan & Wendy”
                   ~ published 1911
This beautiful blue robin’s egg nestled in the warmth of a May evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania was once the home of a sweet robin who has broken out of the egg to soar into life, as new life is the heart of the birth of spring.
