could be territorial arguing between to the 2 species. it could be that either species has laid a nest close to each other, and they are trying to protect it. or, one is trying to drive the others out.
I was thinking it was probably territorial. I haven't seen the swallows lately, so, perhaps the existing nest was not to their liking, or maybe the cat birds won the war. We'll have to see!
I like the picture you used with this post. Birds can be very interesting. It's neat that you can observe this up close and personal.
It really is. I saw the purple finches today, so I think they've moved back in. I'd like to get more bird houses around. I need to fix the bottom of one that I already have and get some more.
The battle of the birds! Take cover! ;-)
Well, it sounds like you have an interesting little drama going on in your yard. Keep us posted!
