A cache and dash along Highway 6 & 24. Not really a micro, but then key boxes aren't really small either.
These condos are built by the swallows that make the west their home. They fly in during the early spring and leave before the leaves start to fall. Their houses are made of mud and are found clinging to the underside of trees, bridges and other structures. The entrances are always small and from the bottom. Once inside, the bird jumps down and into the larger part of the nest where the eggs are laid. This arrangement keeps the wind and weather from entering into the nest. Some nest are reused, but it is not uncommon that they get destroyed as the hatchlings grow in size and weight.

There is parking just west of the cache location, on the west bound side of 6 & 24.
