Goats weren't the only ones to raise young in our barn this year. An obliging pair of barn swallows made a nest right where I told them it would be best and raised three babies that flew the nest today shortly after this picture was taken.
It was very educational and entertaining to watch them building the nest, and then raising the hatchlings. We got dive bombed by the parents a few times, although they only actually made contact with me once. Since they tend to nest in the same spot every year we are hoping they will be back next year.
