barn swallows in your barn, shed, garage, porch?

[Becca Safran]

Greetings!

Thought its cold and snowy this morning, the barn swallows will soon be here setting up their breeding sites. 

We are interested in collaborating with home owners who host barn swallows during their breeding season. We are especially looking for breeding sites in the foothills  (Gold and Lee Hill, Four Mile and Sunshine Canyons) and near Louisville, Erie, and Lafayette but are happy to hear about any and all nesting sites!

If you are amenable to the presence of our research team's presence at times that are convenient to you throughout late spring and summer, please reach out!

I have been studying barn swallows around the world for nearly three decades. This summer, we are trying to learn more about why their populations are declining.  To read more about our group, go here: https://www.safran-lab.com/

If you have hosting barn swallows (and their nests) on your property and are interested in joining our study, please write to rebecca...@colorado.edu.

thanks so much!

Becca and team
