These young Barn Swallows had just noticed that Mom was on her way back to fill their open mouths. They are nesting under the eaves at the University of Calgary Field Station out in Kananaskis, by Barrier Lake.

Oops, I was hoping that this photo might look a bit sharper on Fickr, but I guess I just missed focussing on the Lacewing. Steve, a Professor down in the States, who is working at the University of Calgary's Barrier Lake Centre for the summer, took us on a butterfly walk on Sunday. This was one of the tiny insects we saw during this walk at the Open House.

This is one of the Barn Swallows we saw recently at the University of Calgary Field Station, out in Kananaskis. These birds were nesting under the eaves of some of the buildings. This species of Swallow has a long, deeply-forked tail.
