Last year a family of swallows made a nest on our porch. They hatched several eggs and left for the winter. The girls enjoyed watching the progress.
This spring, the swallows returned. They made a nest and laid some eggs. Curiously, there has been a lot of racket on our porch. Several birds are always flying around our porch, particularly at night screeching at each other. This weekend I found a broken egg on the ground straight down from the nest. Sunday, when we came home from church we found a broken egg at the end out our entryway, not really close to the nest, and another even farther away. It sure looks like someone had sabotaged the nest. For the past several days there has been lots of debris on our porch. I couldn't tell if the nest is being torn down or built up. I haven't seen the swallows in a few days, now there seems to be a family of wrens living in the same nest on the porch.
To the victor goes the spoils.
