At Spencer Island, an estuary near Everett, Wash., which is about 20 miles north of Seattle, I came across a scene no doubt replayed in households across the country. I'm definitely no expert on Tree Swallows, but watched this repeat over the course of two-plus hours, and there was no feeding involved, just conversating.

Thanks for looking.

Glenn

P.S.: As usual with me, I crop 16:9 because I'm a creature of online media.




Mom arrives first.






Junior gets an earful upon arrival.






Junior gets sassy.






Mom gets her feathers ruffled.






Junior starts to show contrition.

Very kind, Chris, thanks. I'm not an expert on Swallow behavior, so what I describe in my captions is only what I imagined while watching it take place.

Thanks, everyone! As you all know, waiting for the right shot often can be tedious. But these guys really kept me entertained. I also was using my (own) 500mm lens for the first time and am glad to see it has some sharpness.

My apologies. I'm just figuring this forum out. These last two complete the story about Mommy and Junior Tree Swallows.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Glenn




Junior and Mom exhibit some harmony.






All's well again in this household.
