It's sad to report, but we had a completely empty nest last night for the first time since the Welcome swallows nested in our car port.
Our hearts have been warmed by seeing the five remaining Welcome swallows nearly every day since the babies fledged. They seem to be hunting in the area during the day and return every few hours to flit through the carport. Better still, each night the whole group has been returning to roost in their nest in the carport.
Last night was the first time "our" Welcome swallows have been away from home all night. Amanda and I both missed them. We hope they keep dropping by from time-to-time to visit us and nest here again soon.
