Fletcher Wildlife Garden is the awesomest place
May 26th, 2009
Tree Swallows are some of the most beautiful birds in North America.
You've probably seen them before: flocks of them circle over ponds and rivers in the evening, hawking for insects, moving too fast to pick out any detail. Swallows are so graceful and streamlined that they can stay aloft for hours, never stopping to perch. Usually, the only way to get a good look at them is to catch them nesting.
Which is why Fletcher Wildlife Garden is the awesomest place. It's got a pond surrounded by very successful Tree Swallow nest boxes. They're busily setting up now and will be raising families in the month to come.
