swallows – love it. That is the most in one spot I have seen. Kind of like a swarm of mosquitos….
Nice video. thanks for the “live action” shot. It is appreciated.
Pretty sure those are barn swallows, they are eating bugs. They aren’t afraid to get too close to you too. Apparently, there are a lot of bugs around that ditch.
Ummm… actually it’s titled Bird-day, not birthday. I thought Matt’s actual birthday was back a couple of months? Go back in the archives I believe he celebrated his birthday back in Pa. if I’m not mistaken. But hey, you have more birthday wishes, either late or early depending on how you look at it.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so.
If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out.
If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania.
You can read all about the details of my trip
if you're so inclined.
and a delicious insect cake was shared by all….
Mmmm…Yummm..if you’re a bird! lol.
Sounded pretty windy there. Lots of birds though to enjoy that delicious insect cake.
Fun video, and I especially like the aspect of the bird captured in the very last frame.
Happy Birthday Dood, keep walkin…

your humor has devolved to a sub human level
Bird watching on ur b-day…really nice present
Hi Matt, just checking in on your glorious walk.
You pictures are remarkable, as usual.
Wishing you fair weather and peaceful evenings.
I like the reflection of the clouds in the water.
Happy BD, and half way. Congratulations. It’s great of you to let us live vicariously through you ! Thank You Matt!
happy belated birthday!

Are you on top of a bridge? The swallows might have nests underneath. They love to nest under roofs or any other manmade cover.
My ornithologist husband says they are cliff swallows and that they are nesting under the bridge (and eating bugs).
You captured the ever present wind too. Can’t get away from that in ND, can you.
