Male Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) - Richmond, BC
I have partnered with the city of Richmond now for 2 years in a Tree Swallow nest box project in 3 city parks. This year we are off to a great start. Most of the nest boxes are occupied with huge increases in occupancy rates. Also most of the swallows are laying 6 eggs this year rather than 4-5 which is a great sign.
Adults can feed up to 7000 insects a day to their young.
This is a small series on a beautiful male Tree Swallow.
