Maybe not the sort of critters that this group thrives for; but among my favorites, nonetheless... A charming pair of barn swallows had been eyeing the overhang on my deck for the last week, and I decided to finally intervene: I provided them with a suitable surface to build their nest on. I just love these little birds, and their building know-how.
Anyway, put this simple "shelf" up this morning, and already, they are utilizing it... But, their blueprint ignored the cleat (or shelf) I made, and they opted to make the bottom of the bowl/nest near the top!
They know what they're doing, though... Happy to have helped them out all the same.

My mom usually has 5 or 6 of these nests around her house. The best nest is the one in front of the kitchen window where we can watch the babies!

Posted by InsectraA cute grey treefrog (Hyla versicolor) that I found in my birch tree, this afternoon. His camouflage was great and I only discovered him when I heard him calling.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
