Birds Weaving Nests Across May Peak Migration
The piece highlights birds at work during spring migration, noting nest-building as a skilled, time-driven craft. It follows warbling vireos in May, orioles in groves, bank swallows in gravel pits, barn and cliff swallows at a puddle, and late shorebirds like the short billed dowitcher and white rump sandpiper. It includes observer reflections and identifies Mr. Robbins of Medford as a contributor.
