Description
Perhaps for the first time, a baby Violet-Green Swallow sticks its head out of the entrance to the birdhouse in which it was born, getting a glance of the world it will soon enter.

Sean, I love when these swallows, peek their heads out.. Once a cowbird put it's egg in one of my swallow houses. Well, as he got bigger of course, he couldn't get out of the bird house, so I had to take down the birdhouse and disassemble the birdhouse and take him out.. Poor liite swallow mother, didn't know that this baby wasn't her's and was already twice her size... Great image...F/V

Sean, you have such similar interests to mine. I love all your bird photos. Is this a Violet Tree Swallow? Or a Purple Martin? I love how they stick their heads out, then when they see someone other than their Mother come, they go back inside. Great capture~
Sean Griffin replied:
Thanks, Kym. This is a Violet Green Swallow, very similar to the Tree Swallow.

So wonderful!! I'm dying to know what the W (bird head) R stands for.
Sean Griffin replied:
Thanks, Patricia! The birdhouse is designed as a fruit stand, and the w and r are in the middle of the word "Strawberries painted on one side. (The b and e were obliterated in drilling the hole!
