I have noticed in recent years that all birds seem to be less afraid of human beings, especially the Canada goose...they seem to stay on local local lakes and ponds and will hang around if you got something to eat. I have been mowing before and found a red tailed hawk getting real close to the tractor catching mice and snakes etc. Once while fishing in Canada...was a normal nice day...birds singing and doing their regular thing and then all of a sudden I noticed nothing, no chirping...just nothing. It was obvious that something had changed, so I started looking around and spotted a bald eagle soaring above the area. Must have been dinner time and none of the birds wanted to be on the menu.I don't see any swallows anymore but in 1994 they invaded the property and set up house in the back room of the shop because I had the door open in the daytime. I had to get up and open the sliding door every morning around daylight till I finally cut an opening for them to fly in and out of. They raised 4 little ones in the nest made from mud and whatever else they use...but I haven't seen them since. Guess I need to import more bugs for them to eat. I wonder if they eat these Gypsy moths that are new to the area that the government is spraying for from an airplane. ohfred-
