Every box along the trail had pairs of these swallows. It was pretty neat.
Along the Harold R. Spencer Bluebird Trail. This male bluebird wintered here in Iowa and always came to the feeder when I whistled. It was very difficult when he was killed by a bird of prey. Nature is harsh, a person can either give up or continue on. Bluebirds are in need of safe nestboxes and humans to monitor them...there is no quitting.
