I just happened to come across these Barn Swallow (I think) babies when I stopped by a park last week. It seemed unusual for 3 Swallows to be just roosting there but within a minute or two one of the parents flew in.
They were so darned cute! All vying for the next meal.
The closer I got the more uncomfortable they became. Here they are giving me the ‘look’
Then they gave each other the ‘look’. And then they were outta there!
When I looked to my left . . .
Someone else was giving me the look! A very quizzical look at that!
He was getting rather close too! I think it was the click, click, click of my camera.
Finally, he too decided I wasn’t safe to be around. Plus I wasn’t giving out treats, so off he flew. It was all good though and I left with a smile on my face : )
* Thank you all for your positive words about my blog. I’ll keep at it!

Oh... Ha ha... love all the looks the barn swallows were giving you and one another... it's like they all looked at one another and said, "uh-oh... we better high tail it outta here!".
The barn swallows giving you the "look" is great! What a cool photo. All of those are great captures actually.
Awww! Bet they would have been your friend if you had their favorite treats.
Have a great weekend.
Haha, aww... so precious ♥
Glad to hear you plan to continue your blog. Your beautiful pictures are often the highlight of my morning.
Interestingly, one of the Barnie adults keeps coming back to my porch to roost at night. Not sure if it's mom or dad, and makes me wonder if it is mom, will she maybe try and nest here next season? That would be so very wonderful. Love seeing these babies, and your photos are fabulous Sharon!
Hey, I think I've seen Lilly and Winna giving you that look before - at treat time! This is such a great post Sharon. I hope you never get tired of hearing that.
What a fabulous post Sharon! Those "looks" are priceless!!
I've been reading your blog for a few months now, and decided it was time for me to stop and say hello! I REALLY enjoy your photography and your stories, and I'm glad to see you will be keeping it up.
I live south of you, on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I look forward to following more from your blog.
