Cool birds! It’s tough to get hummingbirds in a picture, they’re quick :~)
I think barn swallows are really pretty birds, we have them too... but I don’t know where they nest. I like how they swoop around me when I’m mowing pasture.
We have a pair nest in this same spot every year. I love them, but wish they wouldn’t....the cat you know:( He’s gotten the babies a few times when they first start flying.
In fact this year I had the front door propped open, and before I could stop him he caught an adult sitting on the front porch. We’ve knocked the next down to discourage them, but they just come back. I figured with him catching that one they may abandon it at least for this year, but they didn’t. Another day when they were working on the nest I had the door open, I was sitting in here at the computer and could see that every once in awhile one would fly in and take a lap around the living room then back out the door:). I turned the ceiling fan off:)
