Episode Information

As they swoop and glide, their arcs interlacing in the air. When a white feather flutters down among them, one swallow snatches the feather in its bill and flies upward, as another swallow gives chase. After a moment, the lead bird lets loose the feather, which drifts lazily, until the second bird swoops to catch it in midair. Loose feathers are an important resource for Tree Swallows. They line their nests thickly with them, a
featherbed for their nestlings. Learn more at BirdWeb.
