060709: Since the barn swallows returned in mid April they have been busy building their little mud nests. Every night the pairs ~ there are about 10 now ~ hunker down for the night and the world becomes silent.One girl and one boy have decided that the wind chime on our back porch is the perfect nighttime perch. These chimes are right outside our backdoor and every evening when I let the dogs out into the backyard those little birds remain like statues. The wind can be blowing and those chimes are swinging, but the swallows remain planted firmly.
Several weeks ago I got a step ladder out and straightened the chimes as the round wood on top was quite slanted. Ha! I just realized that just like the customers in their RVs, I leveled the swallows, too.
