[cayugabirds-l] swallow fedgelings gone, nest too

2012-06-30 Thread Asher Hockett
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

Hi Asher, I suspect that the news isn't good, and that the nest was predated. I do suggest that you think about attaching predator guards to any nest box you have. These seem to work quite well for us. Carol Schmitt -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:
