Yesterday I saw a Barn Swallow sitting on the power line in our front yard. This was the first since we bought the place in 1978 and tore down all the old buildings that were here. This morning I discovered that a pair of Barn Swallows have appropriated the Eastern Phoebe nest on our front stoop. The phoebes had been using it as recently as last week, and yesterday was the first time I had noticed a Barn Swallow. Jerry
