To all,

I enjoying the pleasant evening today when I noticed a Barn Swallow fly into
a house still under construction then quickly fly out. This definitely meant
nest. I thought about going and observing when I saw a swallow with a huge
white 'throat' flying right above me. I immediately thought White-throated
Swift, but quickly caught myself and told myslef that it was a Barn Swallow
carrying something from the nest. 'What else could it be?' I thought. Also
White-throated Swifts are out west. I went and got some pretty good photos
of the nest.

All for now.

Happy Independence Day to all,

Jacob Barkett,
Woodbridge, VA
