So it appears as though nesting season is not yet over. 

The Barn Swallows are building two mud nests in our shop garage.
Can you see them?

They are a rather messy mix of mud twigs and straw.

My Dad put a large piece of cardboard on the floor to 'capture' any dropped material.

There is still one active Violet-green Swallow nest!

Usually everyone fledges around the 4th of July.  

But not this year - there are at least two birds in this nest.

Feed us!

It is interesting to me where birds decide to build their nests. Enjoy your day, Beth!
