This is a picture of the birds that have tried to take over our porch. A couple of months ago, I noticed them flying around, landing on the fan, and generally looking cute. Then I noticed that they were building a mud nest on a narrow ledge on the inside top of the porch. People kept telling me that I should get rid of the nest, especially since it was right in front of the door. They were roosting there at night and doing you know what on the porch floor. After checking to make sure that no eggs had been laid in the nest, I knocked it down and cleaned everything up. As I did this, the two birds kept flying in and out of the porch. I felt so bad, but they didn't need to be roosting right there at our front door. I thought that was the end of it. More of this saga tomorrow.
