Marg, you didn't indicate what species of swallows in the two  
different habitats? -- the swallows going into and out from the first  
building were presumably barn swallows? and how many is "many"? -- in  
the second habitat on the girders sounds like cliff swallows? in  
flask-shaped or gourd-shaped nests made from mud? how many nests?

Cheers and thanks from Jim in Wolfville
