Cobirds:
I watched about 100 cliff swallows nesting and building
nests under a culvert in Louisville last night. Unfortunately, about
a dozen house sparrows have moved in and are kicking the swallows out
of their nests. The swallows seem to have no defense against the
takeover. In one incident, a swallow tried to get back into its nest
which a sparrow had stolen, the sparrow promptly grabbed the swallow's
leg and crushed it in its beak. Brutal. - John T
