We went birding at the Piedmont Wildlife Refuge recently.Sure, we've enjoyed some pretty birds such as the Orchard Orioles, Eastern Kingbirds, various warblers and nuthatches...but the most fun was to watch Tree Swallows above the water.
For non-birders, Tree Swallows may look like some black swallows doing acrobatics. Birders appreciate the iridescent blues, the contrasting dark colors with the white, the courtship dances of the birds, skimming the surface of the water for food...
Preening...
Feeding the little birdies...
It was all fun. The simple pleasures of life!
