Mud swallows build nests both during the day and night. Barn swallows are also known to do the same thing.
The mud dauber nest is one of the most complex insect nests in existence. It only takes 3 weeks to build a mud dauber nest, fill it with food, and lay the eggs that will hatch in the spring.
Swallows keep warm by fluffing up their feathers to trap air, which acts as insulation. They may also huddle together with other swallows for extra warmth. Additionally, they have a high metabolic rate to generate body heat.

Yes, some birds, such as sparrows and swallows, take mud baths. They use mud to build their nests and also to help regulate their body temperature and remove parasites by coating their feathers with mud.
In most species, female spiders will spin a thick, protective cocoon for their developing eggs and sometimes the spiderlings once they've hatched. Some species will leave the cocoon unattended while the young spiders develop, and others, such as wolf spiders, will carry the cocoons around with them.
I think it's a mud nest
They can. They use bits of sticks, mud, leaves, wool - basically whatever they can find :) Tweet tweet :)

To safely remove a mud dauber nest from your property, wear protective clothing, approach the nest at night when the wasps are less active, use a long stick to knock down the nest, and dispose of it in a sealed plastic bag.
they sleep in big bushy nest made of leaves, branches, mud and twigs
Can't say for sure with that description, but it certainly sounds like barn swallows.
To safely remove a mud dauber nest on your house, wear protective clothing, approach the nest at night when the wasps are less active, use a long-handled tool to knock down the nest, and dispose of it in a sealed plastic bag. Be cautious and avoid getting stung.
