1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh dill, minced

What a sweet sweet post! Thanks for sharing such sweet birdie pics!
Thanks for dropping by Bloggeritaville! I LOVE new friends! I also LOVE your blog!!!!
What I think is wonderful here (and I always love bird photos!) is that the father is helping just as much as the mother. If only it were that way all the time, huh?

Barn Swallows are fabulous mosquito catchers!!
We had Barn Swallows at the farm. They built their nests along our 60 foot front porch. I walked every morning and every morning, the Barn Swallows chased me!! We have them at the lake, too. They tend to nest in the bluffs and on the docks. It’s great having them there. We can sit out, very late at night and not have have mosquito bites.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
Awww…such great parents.
Thanks for sharing them.
Happy Wednesday!
