People Help Baby Swallow
A baby barn swallow fell out of the nest onto the below bike path. First someone put stones and branches around it so it would not be run over. Then others moved it off the bike path and into the safety of the grasses. Advice It had feathers and could move its wings. I think it was just stunned by falling out of the nest. It was very neat the way its wings folded and moved. There was another swallow nearby just learning to flutter its wings and start flying.
