I have several bird houses currently occupied by these incredible flyers .I get a free air show every day. They remind me of jet fighters the way they soar sometimes even flying in a circle. They are also a mosquito eating machine. Great Photos.

There was a seasonal colony nearby, but fewer and fewer the last 4 years or so. I haven’t seen a single swallow there this year.
