violet-green swallows

[Oregon Viking]

Their house is on my front porch. Pics were taken from a bathroom window, and slightly opened front door. I have been trying to get shots for a while now, they are fast! Yes I wish they wouldn't poop all over their doorway....but....
I actually thought about cleaning up a bit, at night, to provide cleaner pictures. I don't really want to disturb them though.

I think it is great that you share your space with them and allow them to be...

They are great "insect eradicators" We have an old well house that we left just for the bats, It's great having very few mosquitoes.

Swallows are wonderful at keeping the mosquito population in check. Thanks for sharing.

Violet-green swallows may be the same thing as Vaux Swifts, Oregon Viking. During late summer the faux swifts congregate by the thousands in an old Portland elementary school chimney (Chapman School) just before migrating. See ​[h=3]Vaux's Swift Watch - Audubon Society of Portland[/h]
