I think the third brood have just fledged, but like you we seemingly have three adults attending. It has been a fabulous swallow year. we have the same thing going on here in our barn.

I assume the same pair comes back yearly or their offspring as they die off. However with this second nesting there are three adults feeding the nest. One is smaller however. Is it possible that one of the young from the first hatch is joining the feeding of the second? This is the first time I've noticed more than two feeding. Anyone out there have info?
