This is probably not exciting to most but at high rock boat ramp there's a large colony of Cliff swallows at high rock boat access by the restaurant (40+ birds). I wondered where they picked their mud and found about them landing off and on in a very shallow ditch next to the lot. Right outside my car window
At first i though they were fighting over the best mud, but after awhile thought that they were helping each other.
Pics attached in the checklist
Saw 50 birds at Eagle point nature preserve Rowan County.
