Herald of spring,
Barnswallows are back!
–
Tropical winters,
Wisconsin summers.
–
New mud nest,
Or top-mud the old one.
–
Two or three clutches,
Of insatiable young.
–
Dive-bombing children,
And curious cats.
–
Feeding their young,
Who wait on the line.
–
Finally feasting,
On Leafhoppers flying.
–
Circling tractor,
As I mow hay.

Lovely foto of the birdie..and fabulously colorful poem!
Love the next of little ones.
I can just smell the fresh air!
Best,

Thank you, Karen. The Barn Swallow is my favorite bird, and I’m sure I’m not the first farmer to feel connected with them.
