Cliff swallows have taken up residence at various points under the Veterans Memorial Bridge. The birds have been nest-building there over the past few weeks. Cliff Swallows traditionally build nests on cliff faces but have adapted their skills to bridges and other structures and feed in areas near water.

The nests are made of mud. That's one of the reasons the birds' habitat is near water.
