6-3-13 Erosion disrupts swallows - Evansville, Alaska, USA
Observation: The river was high when the ice went out. After the warm weather, the bank cut back in the area where swallows nest. They arrived before the event, so I am not sure if the nest holes were caved in. Today I saw more swallows than before. I think they rebuilt the holes! The swallows are important bug catchers and help keep the mosquitoes and gnats numbers lower. Debbie Sue Nictune
