Going bats! Bathouse questions....

Up here we have the "Violet-green swallow" and the "tree swallow" (among
several other types) that nest in hollow trees, fenceposts, barn eaves and
will happily move into nest boxes. I watch them eat mosquitos every morning
and evening. (My front yard is a 7 acre lake, so we have a healthy mossie
population. We don't have many moths here.)
The time frame of aeriel feeders and mosquitos usually
don't cross, but here is some info on the tree swallow
diet.

and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
