Barn swallows return every year to the Island. I have a pair that builds the nest inside the goat barn over the door. Messy. Yes! I close the barn door at night because of predators. That pair knows when to come in or get locked out until morning. Some evenings they are perched on the rain gutter then swoop in as I approach to close the door. They have had hatchlings every year. I love their color and the fact they love to eat mosquitos.
