Grass in the Swallow Box
In the morning I noted a swallow bringing a single long blade of grass into the box nest that is attached to the Birch tree in our yard. The grass hung partially out of the box entry hole for quite awhile until it was finally pulled inside. No doubt about it, this nest box has been claimed and is being prepared for laying eggs and hatching a brood. This will be fun to watch!
