They're Back! (Random Pointless Photo)

Barn swallow building
(Click on image to enlarge)

Barn swallows are building a new nest right where the old one was.

The old one, by the way, was completely destroyed by a combination of (a) me hosing the window area down in the autumn to clean off the barn-swallow droppings, and (b) sparrows, during the winter, poking through the nest in search of food, I suppose.

Since barn swallows tend to mate for life, this could be the same pair as last summer. I can't tell by looking. They all look the same to me.
