Noticed these little guys yesterday starting up a new colony under the eaves of the cow barn. I want to keep up to date on them as within a few weeks their nests will be round balls with tunnel entrances. There are about 8-10 started nests, and lots of squabbling about who gets which space. They are always coming and going with big mouthfuls of mud to build with and I spent probably 10 -15 minutes just watching them and taking pictures - until a cow came up and starting nudging me with her big wet nose. If you look close at the shot of the fight, you can see that one bird is biting the others foot... what a commotion!
