Greetings, all!
As a writer working on a scene in a novel, I need a smidgen of help from the birding community. I'll spare you the context, but I'm trying to figure out what kind of birds might plausible construct a nest on a high-rise building in the midwest of the US (say, Chicago or Minneapolis area) -- maybe 40 stories up. One can imagine shorter buildings in the vicinity, creating a kind of ladder effect up to 40 stories. I'm hoping there might be some smallish bird (swallow, wren) that could plausibly do such a thing, and I don't have room for a peregrine falcon nest
Any and all thoughts on the matter will be greatly appreciated!
Scott
