Tree Swallow_JF07857
I like how this image shows off the Tree Swallow's irridescent blue/green feathers and long slender wings that enable him to make pinpoint turns during rapid flight.
Here he is checking out a nesting cavity and if he can secure it, his mate will soon come to fill it with nesting material.
