Observation details
78 nests under the east side of the Rt 322 bridge and 81 nests on the west side (159 total). I watched the beginnings of nest building on April 26 with just 32 birds counted. All last years nest disintegrate over the winter so what we see today represents the work of more than 100+ birds this year. There are probably 150+ birds in this colony. Cornell's website says each nest is created with 900-1200 mouthfuls of mud.
