Speaking of swallows:
I managed to get over to RAPTOR to drop off a butt-load of perches I had left in my car. As I was pulling out of the driveway, I saw this bird:
Well, hello there, little Northern Rough-Winged Swallow. What are you up to?
Oooo....gathering sticks and mud?
A-ha. Building a nest under the covered bridge? Good choice.
And back out again.
I watched them do this over and over again. Birds are nothing if not industrious.
These holes are old drainage thingies, and I guess the birds know what they are doing. Let's hope Mill Creek doesn't flood again any time soon. The nest site is about 5 feet above the water.
Take a break, dude. You've earned it.

Neat swallow pix! Isn't it just the best thing to sit quiet and watch birds live their lives?
I sure hope you feel better. You have to mend your tomach before your BIG WEEKEND.
Sorry you've caught a bug! Better the birds get 'em (and eat 'em).
The bracelet and earrings arrived! I love them! So very cute. I will post pictures tomorrow. Thank you!
Here's hoping neither you or the swallow gets washed out. Feel better soon.
VERY rude of your insides not to invite you - BAD insides. Hope your outsides are feeling more human soon.
Hope you're feeling better by now! Cool swallow pics!
I love these pictures. One of my favorite things to do is to watch swallows build nests. They are so busy when doing this.
I agree! They need a break. I saw swallows constructing a nest for a while and they wore me out. Amazing.
Hope you feel better, Susan. Big weekend coming up :o)
Nice NRWS series! Hey, feel better quick - we're gonna bird our A$$E$ off this weekend!
See you there,
