I was visiting a friend’s place at 4S, her housing tract was like a little island surrounded by a sea of halted construction. Are they going to finish building up there?
OT Warning
I noticed that these cliff swallows were nesting like crazy under her roof. From her back yard I could see like 5 other back yards (the houses are close together and the yards are tiny) and they all had these cliff swallows nesting on the sides and backs of the houses. I was told that many of the neighbors were complaining about the bird poop and they regularly blast the nests away with a hose (I witnessed this). I’m no PETA member but it seems sad that houses were built where these birds nest and now the birds are being water-blasted away to beautify the homes!
