Muddin’

While walking around the reservoir at Steck Park I noticed a swarm of Swallow’s flitting around in the mud.   At first I thought there must be some sort of bug hatching.   Then I realized they must be filling their mouths with fresh mud and working on their nests. 

Sure enough,  they all flew off and above me on the big rock pillar were dozens of nests.  It’s amazing how fast they dive bomb into them.  At the last second, close their wings and in they go.
