Mating season might have passed

It is a pair,but why keep checking the nest when they dont have any eggs to lay?

UPDATE: I was wrong about the bird in my yard abandoning her nest.

She did exactly what somebody in this thread said. She laid eggs in there and then left for a few weeks. We started hearing baby bird chirps in the house about a week ago.. so they've been born now. Now the momma bird brings food to the nest 10x a day. Really cool to watch.

Have you checked to see if there's any eggs in there?

Or maybe they're just adding onto the nest.

GOOD question,they are not visiting the nest to drop more eggs,they dont stay or sit in the nest.they just glide over it.
I cant see what is in the nest unless I attach a mirror on a long pole.
I hope they are not the same parents like 2 years ago,a pair of barn swallows/sparrows built the same kind of nest and there were 2 chicks inside the nest.
One day I saw many swallows flying around,I thought the chicks have left the nest so I start hosing down the nest,then I heard the parents crying really loud , 2 chicks fell on the ground,one hid in the bush ,the other just hide by a large plant,later it must be the parents calling,it came and sat on the lawn with its parents circling it.
It cant fly ,the next morning I saw it was still there and then the lawn man came to mown lawn and I cant find it anymore,I hope both chicks survive.
I understand birds have memory,if this is the same pair,they must remember the last episode?
Now I know better,I will just leave them alone ,if there are eggs,one of them will be sitting on them soon.

It has been raining lately but I have not heard from my frog,it may have left for the receiving pond behind me or ?? greener pasture.
