My neighbors put up numerous Blue Bird boxes and the tree Swallows took advantage of a good housing market. Don’t worry, plenty of houses for the Blue Birds too. Plenty of nesting going on! This one is a male.
These guys winter in Mexico, central America and the Caribbean. They have the cutest sound. I really enjoy all the swallows even though the Barn Swallows who nest every year on my garage make a huge mess. d300, 28-300,f6.3 1/1000 iso200 Not really a frameable photo but pretty enough bird to share! Aren’t they adorable?

They really are beautiful birds. That tiny beak hardly seems large enough to carry all their nesting materials.
So true. Cute little beaks. Big eyes.
I love their color too.
Most pretty of all the Swallows I think.
