Tree Swallow Nesting Box

Our son and his wife built this Tree Swallow nest box for us, this is the second year it has been inhabited. Tree Swallows occupy three nest boxes in our yard this year. It is fun to watch their precise aerobatics as they zoom and dive grabbing insects on the fly, sometimes inches from the ground or the surface of the water. Their aerodynamic skills are remarkable. Plus, they eat mosquitoes!

Hey, thanks! I think it needs re-painting. See you soon.
