Tree Swallow Nest Photo

This is what the nest looks like so far. Notice the feathers near the bottom. When the nest is finished, the cup of it will be lined with feathers, which curve in and help conceal the eggs. You may wonder where the swallows find the feathers. There are waterfowl in the same area and the swallows are good at finding feathers which have been left behind by some of the waterfowl in the area.
