Termites...?

Hi...

My name is matt, and I have a question about some lines I noticed in my walls. I've attached a picture, and I'm wondering if you might be able to tell me if these are mud tubes? They're below a window, which I've noticed has a lot of bird activity, and has a rotted windowsill. I have also provided a link to photos of the windowsill below.

After researching photos of mud tubes and termite damage, I'm not sure what to think. The marks on my wall suggest water damage, given the fact that they're all so uniformly vertical, and I'm wondering if the water has been intruding through the damaged windowsill.

Several years ago, I had a problem with carpenter ants thanks to a dead tree in the backyard, but it was taken down and I haven't seen any ants since.

Any sort of advice or clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
