Call it the LEGEND OF THE FALL!

Starring, not Brad Pitt but the National Park Service.

All the cliff swallow nests, which are reused yearly by the cliff swallows that return to Yellowstone have been destroyed from all the buildings as well as the relief stations. Utterly destroyed. Which means the poor creatures will have to rebuild from scratch.

The director of Natural Resources was not available for an interview. On vacation leave.

An "attempted" helpful ranger suggested that it was because the historic buildings were being destroyed! Really, Since 1872 the swallows have been nest building all over Mammoth and now the buildings are being destroyed?

And if you note carefully, the woodpecker, bluebird, swallow nest cavities in the signage support posts are filled with cement, replaced with new posts or otherwise made inhospitable.

And recently, wolf kills are being dragged away from viewable road sides and dumped "outback".

Much money, many concessions, and acres of trampled vegetation supports wolf research. Who speaks for the birds? Where is the office of ornithology? Hello? Hello? Anybody there?

The silence is akin to Swan Lake at midnight.

A supportable explanation is in order lest this appears as an attempt to keep people moving and not enjoying bird watching.
