Fledgling Swallow

Nature
We had a brood of Violet-green swallows hatch in this house that was attached to our house. There were two babies. The first took off with its parents in the morning. This one stayed in the birdhouse hole yelling for food. Nobody fed the young bird because it was time to fly and catch its own. Making the leap took it a whole day.

That first step is always the hardest.

It must be big and scary outside when your whole life has been spent in the confines of a box.
