Gary Swensrud of Alexandria observed some baby barn swallows from the time they were incubated to the time they were flying solo. Barn swallows are typically migratory birds, and Swensrud doesn’t expect them to stay in the area much longer.

This photo was taken at Swensrud’s neighbor’s house near Lake Carlos, an area Swensrud deems a “bird sanctuary.”
