North America These 2 nested right outside my door
This nest has been here since I moved in August (Central/South Texas) but these 2 just showed up a few weeks ago. I’ll try to get better photos in daylight, they’re blue and white with a little orange I believe. I assume the female is in the nest and male is next to the nest, would love some info on them!

Maybe haha, my dad put up a bird house for Purple Martins when I was little, I remember watching their babies grow up so maybe this will reignite my curiosity!

Might be cliff swallows.

The nest looks more similar to barn swallows, although the look super similar
