Cats... I really hope the cats stay away from them. The sparrows only come when I feed them indirectly, and they're off when I move. They don't stay on places where cats can jump on them, so I hope they'll be OK.
I went out my door to see a Barn Swallow quietly having some alone time. Usually they fly in pairs, but I don't think this fella is single, looking at the way it was scanning for a good nesting place. These birds are really hard to photograph (they fly away real fast!!!) so I think this is my lucky day!! Ha!!
