Cliff Swallow (Gathering Mud)

Series: Although I didn't get an official invitation, I was able to attend a small group of Cliff Swallows "Spring Mud Fest." When I first spotted them, I couldn't figure out what they were doing sticking their heads in the mud and flapping around until I remembered the mud huts they build. It was really interesting, fun, as well as educational watching them go about this process. After watching them for near an hour, I was also able to find their huts in-the-making, but unable to obtain a photograph of them. Luckily, I've seen and photographed Cliff Swallow huts in other places.
