I promise. The last of the warblers.
I've spotted one on the nearby pine trees learning how to control his wings. It's hilarious to watch him fly a little, stumble, catch a branch, and then try again. Very sweet.
Two are out of the nest and hopping around on the honeysuckle bush. The parents return to feed them now and then and they also return to the nest for a little rest every once in a while. I haven't seen the fourth.
This video was taken this morning and I imagine this will be the last time I'm able to catch them on film. I suspect by tomorrow they will be off and lost in the pine trees, too. I'll miss them!
I also uploaded two more videos on YouTube of previous days antics as well.
I'm not quite officially on holidays until Monday's professional activity day is done, but I'm starting to come down and starting to catch my breath. Rest is a good thing.
These are great! I've been boring people to death on Twitter with reports on the baby barn swallows on my porch!

We had our PA day on Friday- the last day for the kids was Thursday. So what are you guys doing next fall? We aare starting on Sept 2 (going to school with kids on thne Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) then PA day Friday, holiday Monday (Labour day). So we will not have to work in July, and we get an extra day off (the Friday) Better than going to school in the heat of July!
