Violet-green Swallows Take Up Residence on my Bluebird Trail
10,000 Birds

'Every few years I am lucky enough to have Violet-green Swallows ( Tachycineta thalassina ) take up residence on one of my Bluebird trails. This year I have two pair nesting on two different trails! The featured image above shows a female incubating eggs from my first resident breeding pair back in 2007. Violet-green Swallows will nest solitarily or in colonies and in my experience seem much more mellow than other swallow species.
