Tree Swallow male

Back to local birds, but also back to the archives. It was a case of either post no photos this morning or quickly grab three from my archives. Still taking no new photos and still missing all the new bird arrivals back to the city and surroundings, which is so frustrating and disappointing. Soon, that will change, and I will be so thankful.

I recently discovered that I had not posted any photos from the folder of photos taken on 2 June 2017. Nothing too special and mainly Mountain Bluebirds. This was just a short drive to see if I could see any Bluebirds and, usually, where there are Bluebirds, there are also Tree Swallows, competing for the nest boxes. I love to see the Tree Swallows, too, and they look so gorgeous when the sun brings out the iridescence of their feathers.
