hmmm ... so That's where she was going ...

we were out working in the garage a few weeks ago & there was this swallow that would fly into the garage. If Jim would close the garage she would circle madly, screaching the whole time. I was afraid that she had a nest of babies but when we would open the door she never went to a nest, she would fly up towards the light & dart back out. I tried to get Jim to leave the door open for her but he wouldn't.
Yesterday he went out to ride his bike, after just a few minutes he came back in & said "I know where she built her nest now". When I looked up this is what I saw ...

Trust me, he was NOT a happy camper. :o(
However he did NOT let it keep him from going for a ride, lol.
He did mention that nest are known to have lice in them & that if he gets that we'll know where it came from, geesh.

As you can see she didn't get very far before she had to stop. I guess it was a good thing that he didn't leave the door open for her, she definately would have finished. You know she wasn't a dumb bird at all ... just look & think about it ... there the helmet was, hanging so nicely upside down on the wall ... looking so welcoming & like just the perfect/secure place to build a nest & keep you babies ... I wonder where she's gone now???
