Industrious Little Creatures
The swallows that are capable of building mud nests under the bridge on Crossley-Hunter Line (about 2 miles south of Belmont, between Highways 73 and 74) do not appear every year as far as I know. When I approached the bridge recently and saw 12 - 15 swallows in the air and darting under the bridge, I figured nests had been built.
Under the bridge can be seen evidence of a lot of digging.... for mud?
How many trips w dabs of mud would one take to build such a nest?
Busy little birds, I say.
(In London, similar nests can be seen under the Kensington Bridge, near Labatt Park).
