This is the second batch of barn swallow babies for this nest built on top of the fluourescent light fixture in David's shop. They're ready to fledge, but still dependant upon Mom to feed them. There are at least 8 nests in there, and some are already starting on the third family. At this stage, they often fall out of the nests, and flop around on the floor until they learn to fly. At least our one remaining cat hasn't figured it out yet, so the babies are safe enough.
Here they're waiting for Mom or Dad - and make it snappy!
