As you can tell from the picture, the weather hasn't been nice and sunny. That's find by me though, as I was still sweating under all my field clothes. I don't know what kind of bird is in the first picture. It definitely got in some kind of fight though, as it's missing a good chunk of it's feathers on it's head and possibly elsewhere. The second picture shows one of our swallows sitting atop her nest box with some nest material in her mouth. Okay, I'll take more pictures during better lighting so you can see more clearly. I just felt like posting these for now! ttyl
