It's house-hunting time for the tree swallows again, and a number of birds have checked this box for nesting potential.


"Call the realtor, honey, we're moving in!"

At the same time as the house-hunting is going on, we've been seeing numerous aerial duels.

Are these two birds courting or competing for the nesting sites? It's often hard to tell.

In either case, it's pretty entertaining to watch.
