I saw my FOY Barn Swallows today too! At the Montezuma Audubon Center in Savannah. A pair was checking out a spot they nest yearly, atop 2 outdoor light fixtures, one outside of each door on the western side of the building. There was no evidence of nest building yet, when I left work around 4:30 today. I’m going to try and pay attention and see how long it take for them to complete their nest!
I also observed a pair of Carolina wrens courting and nest building it seemed, a lot of singing and a lot of flitting back and forth. They’re nesting in the top (gable?) of a gazebo. I noticed at one point one heading in to the nest with a beak full of caterpillars or worms. So maybe an active nest? They were very loud whatever they were doing. This was in Geneva this evening.
