Field Notes

Description:

These are in Shoshone Falls State Park in Idaho. The birds were still using the nests at the time, which are pretty impressive homes.

That is lovely!! Thank you for sharing, Sarah Garland Shanmugam. I have a few swallows (Notiochelidon Cyanoleuca) trying to build their nest in the balconies of my home, I hope they look as beautiful as those.
