This pic taken in an Oregon State Campground. The 4 babies had not fledged yet, but the rangers swept the nest off the building anyway.... leaving the babies to die and parents totally stressed out.

The head ranger here instructed all the rangers to destroy all Barn Swallow nests no matter the stage they are in because they are so messy.
Classic beauty! What kind of Rangers would do that?!
