[All] work on Highway 7 to Guelph proceeding

[jeff stager]

Hi
I don't know specifically what species of bird are in the barns.
Best guess would be barn swallows.
The remediation is to build an open sided picnic shelter with lots of 
exposed rafters where they can build their mud nests.  Nest building is 
in May so the alternative structure should be built before the following 
May after demolition of the old barns.
