Growing Up!

 Many of the baby animals at Broadmoor are growing up fast and so is the Broadmoor nature center addition and renovation.

A deep hole along the front of the nature center is the beginning of the welcome center addition.  On the left, forms for the concrete pad and supports for the elevator are being put into place.

Four broods of Tree Swallows are using the nest boxes in the field opposite the nature center.  This demanding nestling and its four siblings keep their parents delivering food every ten minutes from dawn to dusk.  But they grow fast and leave the nest 2 – 3 weeks after hatching from the egg.  We bet the parents can’t wait!
