Barn swallows
July 12, 2011 | Iowa,Summer
We had barn swallows take up residence by our front door. We planned to take down the nest, but we were too late. It already had baby birds in it. So we waited them out. They all flew away last weekend, so we finally got to clean up our front step. Fly, baby birds! (And next time, try the barn.)
And then they were gone.
No more nest.
No more poop. Yay!

Oh, but they were adorable! Aren’t barn swallows good luck?
A neighbor once had a mourning dove make a nest in a hanging basket on her front porch. You could stick your face right up there and she would not budge. I don’t know if she was thinking, “If I don’t move, they can’t see me” or “Touch this egg and you will DIE.”

Are they good luck? A little good luck would be nice. :) Funny about the mourning dove not moving. The robin in the window sill flies off when I make noise with the laundry (the nest is in the sill of the laundry room) … but is REALLY pissed about it.

[…] the nest of barn swallows we waited out so the baby birds could live? Well, the little boogers are at it again. They moved to the other […]
