For the third year in a row at least, this bird has been nesting in an undisclosed location near the Celery Farm.

Northern rough wings are interesting swallows known to nest sometimes in round cylinders like cannons. There was a pair nesting in a drain spout in Fair lawn. If I had the energy and skill, I would build cylinder nesting sites around the Meadowlands to see if I could attract more. That’s if my I’d is correct.
