My neighbouring farm had three nests this year, one in the main barn (old h=
uge barn) and two in a garage/workshop building which is always open to the=
air. I did see new fledglings there last week, but not sure what the overa=
ll success rate was. My own barn did not have any this year. But a pair of =
tree swallows successfully raised three chicks and departed the last week o=
f June. They stayed in the vicinity for two or three days only, and I haven=
't seen them since. I imagine they are starting the long journey south alre=
ady, "taking the back roads" maybe, with the babies in tow! Their flying sk=
ills quickly improve I'm sure, but they are not ready for the bodies of wat=
er right away, I'm thinking. The young ones have things to learn as they ma=
ke their way.
