Violet-green Swallow sleeping
On several occasions in the past two weeks I happened to be watching when the female Violet-green Swallow came inside just before dark, appearing a bit disheveled, and almost instantly went to sleep, eyes covered by white eyelids. This evening it happened at 8 o'clock while the sun was still shining directly into the box. She didn't let it keep her awake, but after about five minutes, she roused enough to preen for a few minutes, and then went back to sleep. Earlier in the day she had brought in a few new grass stems.
