Anne I've had barn swallows nesting in a small shed on my property come way up to the house and dive bomb my cat - and the cat was far from the nest and no apparent threat! I love it when I'm out to mow and they go about wake hunting as they catch the insects my mowing stirs up. It is a sad day indeed in late August when I am mowing and the swallows are no more. What a gift the natural world..... Pete Sar
