Today two swallows

...were going about their business at the Table Creek bridge. Barn Swallows are not common in this area, so these were a nice surprise, especially considering their new status.

Barn Swallows everywhere are in big trouble, as Trevor Herriot explains in his latest post, so needless to say I watched these two with delight and a measure of sadness as I snapped a few pics, steadying the camera lens on the CROSS AT YOUR OWN RISK sign. The bridge has been in rough shape for years. Recently a meeting was held to discuss its future. I don't know what they decided, but I fear the swallows soon will.
