Perched Prettily
They're BACK! Well, so are a lot of birds as it's that time of year to refurbish the nest, lay eggs, raise young, that sort of thing. But in Alaska it seems to go very quickly as they have to get it done and then fly south to enjoy the warm winters.
This very pretty male Tree Swallow rests a moment from all the hubbub going on with the nest building. It was overcast that day so I wasn't getting that very blue iridescence popping on this bird, but it's still quite gorgeous.
