Day 199: They were almost two weeks late in arriving, but when they finally showed up, both Violet-Green and Tree Swallows were anxious to find suitable accommodations. I noticed both species investigating the properties on the north garage wall. Although the interiors of these highly desirable bungalows were renovated during the winter, the Violet-Greens waited a little too long and before they could make their bid, the contracts for both dwellings had been signed by two Tree couples, both of whom are actively engaged in nest-building. The House of Chirp (shown here) and Pussywillow Cottage will soon be filled with the sounds of sweet little Swallow babies.
