Anchored
in or near
the fringe
of emergent
plants
rushes
flags
cattails
low and flat
floating masses
adults wary
forming pairs
breeding status
undisturbed areas
three-toed cavities
fine grasses nesting habitats
shells spotted with lavender
ravines cliffs farmlands
windows rafters
yellow-bellied flycatchers
boreal bogs coniferous forests
sparingly spotted fine brown dots
bottomlands river swamps
cypress ponds horned larks tree swallows
dense colonies purple martins in dooryards...
