We have been watching our Tree Swallows as they have been preparing to leave. Yesterday two were poking their heads out and the parent was feeding them. Today, seeing no activity, we checked, and the nest was gone - only a few pieces of grass left. I did find parts of the nest on the ground underneath, We have not seen the birds but will keep looking.
Is it possible some animal snatched the nest and the young? Or that some other species (House Sparrow has been seen at the box leaving with white feathers) removed the material for its own nest? -- asher -Never play it the same way once. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
