I saw your answer. Glad it will pass.
Are you still accepting nominations for names?
Why do you have bricks by the door?
Suggestions for the name are welcome.
We have a brick pillar supporting a small overhang over our front door, and there’s about 12” on the top of the pillar beneath the roof. For the last two years, barn swallows have nested there and pooped on the door mat all summer. Last year, we put a flowerpot on top of the pillar, and they nested one top of the flowerpot, after griping for a couple of days that there wasn’t really room. Then they raised two nests of chicks!
I don’t *think* they can build a nest in the spot this year, but they may surprise us!
