We put up three nest boxes this spring for Bluebirds. We have a pair of House Wrens in one of them, a pair of Tree Swallows in another, and I've been regularly evicting the House Sparrows from the third. This is the male Tree Swallow perched on our back fence. The female is shown in the two insets and lacks the blue coloring of the male.

This is a female Tree Swallow on her nest in one of the boxes I put up this spring. I put them up for Bluebirds but have gotten Wrens and Swallows instead.

The female Tree Swallow lacks the bright blue coloring of the male. This is the female on her nest in one of the boxes I built for Bluebirds.

Photographed in Millennium Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this is a Tree Swallow. They range all across North America and we see them in our backyard but they seldom perch and are almost impossible to photograph if they do not.
