Keeping Watch on the Human

One of these days, Denis and I might make our way back down to Benson, Arizona on a bright June day to check out the residents of the local Ace Hardware. Now... who or what could be living at the Ace Hardware? Why some barn swallows , of course! When Denis and I used to spend a couple of weeks each summer in Cochise County, we always made a stop at the store to say hello.     Adult Barn Swallow   This adult stayed perched on that sign and kept a close watch on me for a very good reason... Baby Barn Swallows The adult wanted to make sure I kept my distance from the rest of the family! (This is the main reason why I like a good zoom lens on my camera.) © Cathy G.
