Description
This young barn swallow fledgling is just about ready to fly but still content to wait in the mud nest the adult swallows have built for a parent to return and feed it. The next is located in the horizontal beams of a picnic shelter at Walnut Creek Lake Recreation Area in Sarpy County, Nebraska. This is a mid August capture. These birds are summer residents in the state; in the spring they migrate in and they leave in the fall.
