As noted in my post on the bluebirds, so far they are holding one box and the swallows aren't bothering them. In any case, I think I will put up a few more boxes just in case!! ...you can imagine what they are saying in the first photo! "It's MINE!!" Just waiting his turn...

I think that first would be rated R for langauge! lol Nanny56 - Indiana, Zone "5b"   Calendula  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden Posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 - 12:37 pm EST :    It is very much apparent that the pair in the first picture are having "Words". The second one seems to say:"more rooms for rent?" Send a couple of them my way Carol, I have rooms for rent galore. Thank you for wonderful pictures.

Great shots, Carol.

They are very welcome here and hopefully there's enough nest boxes to keep them and the BBs happily raising their broods.
