Tree Swallow in April
It always feels so good to have the Tree Swallows back after a long winter! Their beautiful, iridescent blue feathers make such a welcome change from seven months of winter white. This male was photographed fairly near a nesting box, SE of Calgary at Frank Lake, on 27 April 2014.
"Handsome aerialists with deep-blue iridescent backs and clean white fronts, Tree Swallows are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They chase after flying insects with acrobatic twists and turns, their steely blue-green feathers flashing in the sunlight. Tree Swallows nest in tree cavities; they also readily take up residence in nest boxes. This habit has allowed scientists to study their breeding biology in detail, and makes them a great addition to many a homeowner’s yard or field." From allaboutbirds.
