    Just beautiful, this garden that was made for us. I grew up in rural Canada. The road I lived on had very few paved driveways. There were swallows nests in the gables of every single house. Now every house has a paved driveway and swallows nests in gables are extremely rare. The major impact it made is that the mosquitos are horrible at times now. The balance that existed since the 1600's is off. We have plans to change that next year. We still have a summers worth of data to collect and we should be able to restore that balance. I'm including education to our arsenal this summer in the peak of mosquito season, so that the locals are fully aware of the role these birds have played and will play going forward. We've been talking about this in certain circles throughout the community and its always well received. I'm confident they'll thrive here very soon, the people of this area are compassionate, caring and hospitable people. Great community. Alot of life around us plays a pivotal role in how we experience nature, and most of us are oblivious to this. That's o.k. too, it's a part of the beauty of the system. There are people who are interested enough for 100 people and that's o.k. too.
