Tree Swallow and Friends

On May 7th
With Robin, May 8th
I love the iridescent blue feathers of the tree swallow and I'm pleased that some are nesting in our yard. This guy likes to perch, and I've spotted him several times on the back of a bench. Sometimes another bird is nearby.

    Hello Linda!:) Oh what a beauty, with those iridescent feathers, and what a lovely wrought iron bench, ...a perfect perching place for the birds. I have never heard of a Tree Swallow, although I saw lots of Swallows and House Martins on our hols, but wasn't able to photograph them. They move so fast and change direction all the time. Lovely shots Linda!:)

    Great pictures... Love the colors of the Swallow...

    My blog post this week is from a park in NC where we loved to walk when we were in that area recently.. They had benches like the one you showed...

    Hugs,
    Betsy
