Passerine Songbirds

I mentioned in an earlier post about an extremely upper class neighborhood that I deliver mail to in Millis.  The development doesn't have a name, as so many do. Rather just known by their street names; Evergreen Terrace, Beech Road and Frontier Lane, with the latter containing the BIGGER and nicer estates, see below -


I'm guessing that this area was farmland at one point; fields and forest.  One indication that there isn't a single tall, older tree on any of the properties.

Anyway, I digress from the main reason for this post and it's kinda a "find the critter" type post too.

Can you find the critters in the two photos below - 

Look closely over the door and windows.  Care to guess at what these critters are?


Different house, same critters congregating over the windows -


I took another picture today, Tuesday August 11, see below.  Look over the doors and windows, oodles of them -


They're Barn Swallows!

I see them flying in and around this development each time I deliver there.  Recently, I noticed how they'd flock to and perch on just a couple houses around the same area; the more open areas.

They are a beautiful bird for sure and SO fun to watch they soar and dart in the open spaces.

As Dr. Seuss said, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"...
