Looks like round 2 (or 3?)
This new pair of Barn Swallows have started building their own place, as evidence of the new nest. This progress is only about 3 days into building. I think it is amusing that they sit on the tiny nest that is under construction rather than use the existing nest that's just a foot or so away from them.
This pair looks different than the pair last year. Perhaps one of them is from a brood last summer, but there is really no way to tell. I just like having them around (even if they do deposit copious amounts of guano...)
