A Swallow Family

During summer, many swallows nest around here.

When I saw these swallows at the reservoir, I thought  they must be Tree Swallows that I always see.  But they happened to be  Purple Martins, a different kind of swallows.


Middle one:  "I am a male Purple Martin."
Right one:     "I am a female Purple Martin."



Hidden:  "I am a scared young Purple Martin. 
 My mom is protecting me when everyone is
 making a fuss around here.  She is tough."


"I am a dad, acting as a sentinel."
