[AT] Fighter escort for old iron

[partzpicker at yahoo.com]

I get barn swallows when I mow.  They nest about a quarter mile away in an unused shed at the neighbors.  I think they've learned to associate the sound of a mower with dinner!

I could have used the escort today, too hot out for the birds but not the bugs.

While mowing today the swift’s were out in full force. I call them my fighter escort.  It’s hard to get a picture of all of them at once, but I had 20 to 30 swifts saving me from all the evil bugs in the field that the haybine was kicking up.  It amazing how close they are willing to get to me and how acrobatic they are.  It’s one of my favorite parts of mowing. They keep me entertained.  I have one circled but there a few more in the pic
