barn swallows

iridescent wings
along with orange bellies . . .
sky sweepers soaring

the sharp warning cry
when a nest of birds I spy . . .
barn swallows dive-bomb

Great 3rd liners, the first painted a vivid pic I didn't expect and the 2nd because I out loud laughed, also unexpected.

They really hate you spying on their nests. Oh my gosh. But it's fun to see them around the house

Great haiku with apt picture illustrations. Even in the bird kingdom, safety of the young ones is the greatest concern of each mother.
