I have Swallows that build every year under my dock. They are usually here 3 months then move on when the young learn to fly. In one way I like them and then in another they are a nusiance. The adults perch on my chairs and pontoon boat and leave their droppings.  They must  think the place is theirs and I am the intruder. These birds always come to my pier. There are 6 other piers in our area but they build their mud nest at my place.
