A New Resident

This little bird or her offspring comes back each year.  She usually builds her nest on top of the rain gutter pipe attached to our porch and we get to watch her with her little ones and try to keep the cats from being too interested.  Today I noticed she was working in the garage rafters.  I only noticed because she was trying to fly out the closed window in there.  It is not the best place because one of our cats likes to climb up to the rafters and poke around.  There are two nests in there now, this one and one just started, but I haven't seen her in several hours.  Hope she picked a better spot.
