CLIFF SWALLOWS babies are hungry!

Cliff Swallows are the most colonial swallow in the world, regularly forming colonies of 200–1,000 nests, with a maximum of 3,700 nests in one site. They preen, feed, drink, and bathe in groups, and they continue sticking together in large flocks during migration and on their wintering grounds. Swallows build their nests with mud pellets and like to reuse nests year after year. Nest building takes up a lot of energy and swallows can make more than 1,000 trips in the process. [WOW Hats off little guys!] The time required from the start of nest building to departure after raising one brood is 47 to 64 days. Swallows are usually present at the colony for up to 100 days. After leaving the nesting colony, cliff swallows will remain in the general area for several weeks. It is illegal to intentionally destroy the nest, eggs or young of a swallow without a permit. If an adult swallow is occupying a half-built nest, or a fully built nest without eggs, then the law protects it. #Grateful #FascinatingWorld #NatureTherapy #SmallJoys #PuttingLifeIntoLiving #MyActiveMeditation #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #ProtectNature #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nikon #NikonP950 #WatchLearnPhotograph #BirdNest #California #Swallow
