Field Notes

Notes:

I thought it would be cool to share these photo's. Swallows usually build their nests close to overhead shelter - particularly in locations that are protected from both the weather and predators. Birds that make mud nests are most common in the Old World (Africa). Nest building is a shared responsibility between the male and female pair.
