A Swarming of Swallows

Recently, these tiny fast-moving birds have seemed to take over the St. Edwards campus, or at least the on-campus Apartment complexes. I love to watch them glide thorough the air. I have noticed, like in the image I took, most seem to be making homes on the apartment complexes. I found out that these little birds will make mud nests on human made structures which is where the barn comes from in their name. What amazes me is that they do not seem to be afraid of humans as long as they are not disturbed. Just another creature we can live peacefully with.
