Barn Swallow Progress Report
(Random Pointless Photos)

On Sunday, the nest was almost large enough to hide a swallow.

Now I think it's pretty much finished. It projects about 2" from the window frame (just guessing, didn't measure), and there's maybe a little more than 1" clearance between the top of the nest and the soffit.

So I've finally seen how barn swallows build their nests! I've seen it, but I still don't believe it.
