Tree Swallows are nesting
In the fall of 2013, Principles of Natural Resource Management students Sara Morris-Marano, Danielle Podmayersky, Brittney Chrans and Noha Haggag built and installed 6 tree swallow boxes around the newly constructed stormwater detention basin/wetlands adjacent to Avenue E on Livingston Campus. Four of the 6 boxes are now occupied with the swallows swooping back and forth across the wetlands snatching up insects to feed their young. Tree swallows have a violet-green back, white underside with a slightly forked tail.
