This evening's KING-5 News had a report on the destruction of Cliff Swallow nests at some building site in the Seattle area. Could someone say what's going on? There seemed to be a lot of the kind of words people say to justify environmental destruction when it can't really be justified, such as some business about dead nestlings in the nests, and now the swallows will have to go somewhere to build healthy nests, so it'll be much better for them. Sure. Anyway, what's happening up there?
