On December 31, 2000, I went on an expedition up a ladder to examine two barn swallow nests. The nests are right outside my front door, on opposite corners of my family’s front porch, here in Gallup, New Mexico. My original plan was to take the nests apart to see what items the swallows had used for their nests. But earlier in December, when I started to read about barn swallows, I learned how much work is put into the nests, and I decided not to take the nests apart. Instead, I examined the nests from a ladder.

NEW GLARUS — How often do we find birds’ nests after the leaves have left the trees in the fall and wonder “What bird made this nest?” Bird’s nests come in many shapes and sizes. They can be found in trees, on the ground, inside of hollow trees and hanging from branches. Some birds build a new nest every year; others often repair old nests and use them year after year. Nesting materials encompass the range of the obvious twigs, grass or mud to the industrious use of many surprising man-made objects.
