Not All The Birds JoAnne Photographs Are Beautiful - At Least To Me

[Henry]

Hi Henry,
 
I checked on the birds in the yard, today. The robins have not hatched, yet. They must be close, though.
The bluebirds have 5 eggs in their house, and the 4 swallows look like they must be close to fledging.

(Uggggghhhhhhh!!  Swallows, my least favorite bird)

Hi,
Are you sure it is swallows that you don't like? Or starlings. The swallows eat lots of insects, especially mosquitoes.
Starlings are the ones that make a mess on hanging laundry, and put their nests in any crevice they can find, including partially open mailboxes.

JoAnne, you are right, it is the Starlings that are the ugly mean birds.  My mistake
