A tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) in Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Note the visible brood patch in the center of his chest. In preparation for incubating eggs birds will sometimes pluck some of their feathers so they can better transmit their body heat to their eggs.

I think I missed the tree swallow fledging this year due to being very busy (life, what can you do?). Here are two pictures from last year--the almost fledged babies sit on the "porch" awaiting food from their parents. #birds #birding #babies #treeswallows #feeding #birdsofmastodon #nature #photography #birdphotography

Sunny Day Real Estate* Company found these two lovebirds** this charming hole in the wall. Great starter home. Bit of a fixer-upper. Lake view.
*no relation to the band
**not actually lovebirds
It was an ideal spring day today: sunny, light breeze, not too warm and NO BUGS. We went looking for birds. There were some warblers, but not many yet. #warblers #treeswallows #bluewingedteal #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #nature

I took hundreds of photos of tree swallows in flight. These four are the best 😬

I can remember what a beautiful day it was that day...the surrounding foliage gave me a great bokeh & the sunny sky made the tree swallows feathers bright & shiny. 🙂 ❤️

I love the tree swallows & how fast they fly. It really makes them a challenge to shoot.

I am looking forward to spring when I can take more photos of the tree swallows. They are so cute. I like to say that the female is arguing with the male saying "Where the hell have you been? I have been working hard on this nest & you have been out flying around playing!" 😂 🤣

I took this photo during spring a few years ago. I caught tree swallows during the mating process. 😲 😜 ❤️ #NH #photo #photography #Bird #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #NewHampshire #NewEngland #Thursday #treeswallows #BirdsofMastodon
