H8 to change the topic... but this cleaning out of nests... reminds me of a terrible criminal act that I recently discovered.
I saw a barn swallow at one of my gardens recently... Was excited... Mentioned it to the home-owner... only to discover dead babies a week or 2 L8r...
Seems... that waiting a week for the babies to fledge... was too much????
Beyond my comprehension...
I'm sick to my stomach.
