Here on my farm, the last of 4 broods of Tree Swallows left their nest box yesterday and both late broods have been loafing around and twittering on the power lines near the house. The late broods were by different parents than the early broods. This was easy to tell because the late broods were commenced just before the early broods flew the coop. Last year there was just one nesting pair here, and their eggs never hatched.
