<\/a><\/p>\n Violet-green Swallow Nestling photos by Larry Jordan<\/p>\n This Violet-green Swallow<\/strong> nestling was looking for its breakfast this morning when I went out at 6:00 a.m. to check on them.\u00a0 The sun was just coming up over the horizon and this young bird was looking to fill that creamy gape with some flying insects.<\/p>\n Of course he or she can’t fly so this little one is waiting for one of its parents to feed it.\u00a0 I caught the male briefly sitting on the fence before bringing his bounty to the table.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n as the female was taking a well deserved break<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n It was a very busy morning in and around the nearby oaks.\u00a0 House Finch juveniles were chirping in the background as Black-headed Grosbeak juveniles joined in the chorus, seemingly trying to drown out the nestlings pleas.<\/p>\n A young Oak Titmouse<\/strong> was foraging nearby and decided to investigate the nest box that looks exactly like the place he was recently born.<\/p>\n
