Media notes
Many birds swirled overhead.
Observation details
As we approached the bridge in our car, we could see a large cloud of birds swirling above and around the bridge. Once we parked and walked onto the bridge, approximately 300 birds were still swirling and vocalizing above the bridge. A short time later, most had either entered nests or disappeared. Numerous times a bird perched at the entrance to a nest and poked its head inside. It was not clear what exactly they were doing since we didn’t see them carrying mud. A few entered the nests while we watched.
