The nest of Japanese Paradise-flycatcher was finished. Only female is incubating their eggs, just same as making the nest. The male never do also it. Why...? While the female is doing it, the male is wandering around there, with his song... Oh! just same as the last time! This male is lazy?

Near my house, I could meet the Barn Swallow family. These are the juveniles.
