Barn Swallow(Hirundo rustica) |

Description: I spent much of my stay at Davis Mountains State Park working on images and stories from earlier episodes from my expedition. But on my third day in the park, I drove up-slope to Skyline Drive and looked for Montezuma Quail. They were ‘heard’ but not seen. Barn Swallows feeding babies were more accessible. |
