Blue - Tree Swallow
Having tried and failed to get these birds in flight, I was happy this Tree Swallow was perched on a wire. He posed nicely for his photograph on a countryside road in rural Alberta, Canada.
Tree Swallows winter farther north than any other American swallows and return to their nesting grounds long before other swallows come back. They can eat plant foods as well as their normal insect prey, which helps them survive the cold snaps and wintry weather of early spring.
- Tachycineta bicolor
