Some Bank Swallows decided to start a new colony in what I considered a strange location. It was a bank but the holes are easily accessible by man and creature alike. When the first few holes were made the water level was higher, but as you can see in the photos, all the holes are easy to access now. At first there were six holes, then 14 and now about 20. Only two holes have nesting material and some holes are not very deep. Recently I haven't seen any activity at the nest holes and wonder if they have been abandoned. Occasionally boats get launched from there and they might have been disturbed by this. It will be interesting to see if they try again next year.
