Yes a cliff dwelling, but just not for humans. I don't know if these rock formations are naturally occurring or the birds are making them, but I'm guessing the later. Sandstone is relatively soft, and the holes are too regular and perfectly placed to be natural. This rock face must have been in use for many generations as the lower levels have decayed over time. Although there are so many strange patterns of erosion in Valley of Fire that it's difficult to rule anything out.

This is the doorway of the Wentworth Dwellings on Goulston Street, that, at 2:55 AM on the 30th of September 1888, PC Alfred Long found a torn piece of bloody apron that belonged to Catherine Eddowes, who was murdered not long before. It was found underneath some anti-semetic graffito which was erased before it could be photographed.

Cavate Dwellings. Native Americans dug these rooms or chambers into the face of a cliff composed of soft volcanic tuff. These cavates (cave rooms) were occupied by Native Americans about 500 to 900 years ago. Bandelier National Monument. Los Alamos Co., New Mexico.
We saw the aging house in Vinton County, Ohio and it reminded me of lines from "This Ole House" song:
"...This ole house is getting feeble
This ole house is needing paint..."

May 8, 2023: Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Manitou Springs, Colorado.
Built between 1904-1907, The Manitou Cliff Dwellings is a privately owned tourist attraction with a recreated Anasazi cliff dwelling, museum, and gift shop. Visitors can walk and climb through the recreated cliff dwellings. The cliff dwellings are based on actual examples found in Mesa Verde National Park and similar preserved sites.
The Anasazi, also known as the Ancestral Puebloans, lived in the Four Corners area of the American Southwest from about 1200 BC to AD 1300.
This house, cut into the rock face high in the limestone cliffs above Chinon and the River Vienne, is next door to the Chapelle Ste-Radegonde, a rock-cut church which is part of a complex of cave dwellings in which St Radegonde, a sixth-century German princess who had renounced the world, lived with her followers. The chapel's guardian has lived in this house for nearly thirty years and often takes visitors into the chapel and caves behind.

The High Kings of Ireland (Irish: Ard-Rí na hÉireann] were sometimes historical and sometimes legendary figures who had, or who are claimed to have had, lordship over the whole of Ireland for centuries.
Apart from the striking artisan dwellings, the area is also known for the prominent Viking street names. For example, there is Viking Road, Olaf Road, Thor Place, Sitric Road, Norseman Place, Ard Ri Road, Malachi Road, Ostman Place, Ivar Street, Sigurd Road and Harold Road. At the time of the Norman invasion, the Vikings, Ostmen or Austmenn (men of the East) as they called themselves, were exiled to the north of the Liffey where they founded the hamlet of Ostmenstown later to become Oxmantown.
Scatophagus argus, or the spotted scat, is a species of fish in the scat family Scatophagidae. It occurs in two basic color morphs which are called green scat and ruby or red scat. This fish is generally distributed around the Indo-Pacific region, to Japan, New Guinea, and southeastern Australia. They live in coastal muddy areas, including estuaries, mangroves, harbours, and the lower courses of rivers. They are popular aquarium fish usually used to eliminate algae in the fish tank.
The body is strongly compressed. The dorsal head profile is steep, with a rounded snout. The body is greenish-brown to silvery with many brown to red-brown spots. Spines and rays of the dorsal fin are separated by a deep notch. Small ctenoid scales cover the body. Juveniles are a greenish-brown with either a few large, dark, rounded blotches, or five or six dark, vertical bars.
Since S. argus can live in embayment regions, as well as quite far upstream in freshwater rivers, they can adapt to varying salinities. As fry, they live in freshwater environments, but as they mature, they move to saltwater environments. They do not live in temperate waters, as they require at least a little warmth (21 to 28 °C).
Birdworld is the United Kingdom's largest bird park, covering 26 acres (11 ha). It is located in the East Hampshire district, close to the village of Bucks Horn Oak and the surrounding Alice Holt Forest. Birdworld includes an Underwater World aquarium which have tanks covering a tropical mountain stream, Jungle Swamps and the colourful world of marine reefs in warm seas. Other creatures include a shoal of piranhas, clownfish and regal blue tangs, miniature crocodiles. The freshwater displays at Underwater World show a wide range of freshwater habitats, ranging from Amazonian streams and flooded forests to African lakes and even tiny seasonal pools and all are presented in large, healthy tanks where one may see baby fish being cared for by their parents.
The aquarium holds over 30 exhibits. The variety is immense from fish, crustaceans, amphibians and reptiles, and the diversity of our aquatic dwelling animals is well worth a visit.

The colourful architectural labyrinthine walkway is in two different outdoor locations in Kent: Turner Contemporary’s South Terrace, adjacent to the gallery, and within a Victorian grotto on Folkestone seafront. The work appears simultaneously in both locations this summer as part of Turner Contemporary’s Summer of Colour festival and Lookout, the third Folkestone Triennial.
Dwelling (Margate / Folkestone) has a strong sense of place, having been conceived for two different locations in Kent. Both sites have a strong connection through their coastal locations and history as popular destinations for leisure and tourism during the 19th and 20th centuries.
What both sites have in common is an attempt at providing some sort of protection or shelter: the fake Victorian caves or grottoes on the one hand, versus the hard-edged contemporary architecture of Turner Contemporary on the other. Both sites lend themselves to this notion of a ‘dwelling’, which in turn plays with the traditional idea of seaside pavilions and beach huts, a common feature of the UK coast.
This is the first time Turner Contemporary and the Creative Foundation have collaborated on an artist commission.
Krijn de Koning's Dwelling is produced by Turner Contemporary for Folkestone Triennial 2014 and the Summer of Colour, with a grant from the Creative Foundation and with the support of Cultural Destinations and the Mondriaan Fonds.

The numerous cliff dwellings within Canyon de Chelly and other locations throughout the Navajo Nation had been abandoned by the time the Navajo arrived in the area. They named the people who built them "Anasazi" (or "Ancient Ones" in Navajo) and when the Spanish arrived in the Southwest, they named these abandoned settlements Pueblos. Both names are still in use today.
It's not really known why these settlements, some quite large, had been abandoned, but suspicions gravitate around great droughts which made farming unable to sustain the size of the population and the culture.

The L. B. Brown House was built in 1892, during the period of Bartows initial development. It is a good example of Frame Vernacular construction typical of that period. This house is decorated with intricate mill work and gingerbread. The house has nine rooms. The Brown house was built by Lawrence Bernard Brown (1856-1941) who was born into slavery, in Wacahoota, outside of Archer. He moved to Deland around 1882 where he built a number of houses. Lawrence moved to Bartow during the 1880s and built a large number of dwellings, one of which was the L. B. Brown House. Lawrence and AnnieBelle (1882-1938) Brown raised seven children here. Was added to the National Register of Historic Places in January 2001
The house I grew up in, taken soon after it was built in 1965. A typical mid-century split level home, just about every surburban housing development in offered one.
