Anyone who frequents the Waterfowl Park knows that we have around two dozen nesting boxes in the water. However, many people aren't totally sure what, if anything, lives in these boxes. The answer they are looking for is, as the title of the post might lead you to believe, the Tree Swallow.
These beautiful little blue-backed, white-bellied swallows prefer nesting in large, dead standing conifers - of which there are very few in the park. As such, there were 55 boxes places all around the park, about half of which remain. For more info on the Tree Swallow, check out this
