    For the fourth year in a row, Spectrum for Living residents and participants have built and donated dozens of Tree Swallow nesting boxes to the Meadwolands Commission — and lavishly decorated several of them (right).

    As you can see from the photo above, Tree Swallows were making a bee line for the boxes just moments after they were installed.
