Female Tree Swallow Feeding Her Chicks - Sequence
On 06/24/2024 03:44 pm by Stephen Bloodsworth| Montgomery County, Maryland
Even though I'm used to seeing adult tree swallows feeding their nestlings up close it never ceases to amaze me. Both parents feed their chicks for up to 22 days — seemingly non-stop — while they're in the nest and up to three days after they leave the nest. That's unconditional love and support! Pictured is a female in a sequence approaching the nest.
