And a very belated Happy Birthday to you.<br /><br />We have 3 sets of barn swallows this year... usually they hang out around our front porch and build their nests in the eaves, but this year they have decided one of the outbuildings suit their needs better. So when I go out to feed the horses their morning grain, I get to watch the swallows perform their acrobatics. And I love watching them!<br /><br />So the Kestrel is their enemy? I'll just bet we have those out here, we have so many falcon and hawk-type birds. I finally got my first bird guide a month ago, so I am finally identifying many of the birds around here. What fun it is too! I hope I'll ID a kestrel soon. When it's NOT catching a barn swallow, I hope. :-(Girl Tornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289862625817473671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473783851907618920.post-23000171538066534952010-04-30T17:24:29.516-04:002010-04-30T17:24:29.516-04:00Happy Birthday to you, too, Nut!

I say 'ours' br they only dance over our garden, but roost elsewhere - I think in the old reservoir house behind us, but at least I get to watch theior joyous dance! :)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473783851907618920.post-83335728341500979862010-04-28T17:13:15.852-04:002010-04-28T17:13:15.852-04:00Oh, hell, you are full of musical sounds these day...Oh, hell, you are full of musical sounds these days.

Mr. Eliot lifted that line from Pervigilium Veneris in which Philomela, whose sister, Procne, was had been turned into a swallow, wonders when Spring, the time of love, shall return, and moreso, when will she be free of her sufferings, as she had been turned into a nightingale, not a swallow, and she had been raped and had her tongue out, but that's okay because sister Procne took revenge on Philomela's rapist by cooking the bad man's son and serving it as a meal unbeknownst to the evil doer all of which shows that, perhaps, acid was the drug of choice for that creepy poet T.S....<br />Your faithfl servant, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
