You can just see the outline of momma, a Barn Swallow, on the nest on the center item below. Dad kept bringing food to momma. She never left the nest even with everything going on around her. NU scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th to win: http://www.omaha.com/huskers/huskers-rally-past-buckeyes-in-big-ten-tourney-opener/article_3f9863f4-dc03-51f1-898f-8443ca2da18f.html
Papa sits on the backstop wire catching bugs and watching the game bottom.

(7,720 posts)2. A couple of years ago a pair of barn swallows built a nest in the
vestibule of a Home Depot store near my house. They would fly in front of the motion sensor to get the doors to open. They had a climate controlled area to raise their brood.

especially at the box stores that have those open-access outdoor plant/flower/garden sections...
Not only is it easy to get in and out and 100% safe from natural predators, the plant section tends to attract bugs for a convenient food supply...

Papa Barn Swallow is a misogynist pig who left homebound Mamma to go watch the game.
