🌎 Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) Tree swallows are small migratory birds with iridescent blue-green upperparts and stark white underparts. They breed across northern North America, from Alaska to the southern U.S., and migrate south to winter along the coasts of the U.S., Mexico, and Central America. They are highly acrobatic aerial insectivores, gliding more than other swallow species. They are social birds, forming large flocks during migration and winter, but are territorial during the breeding season when they nest in tree cavities or nest boxes. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by terski via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/tree-swallows-swallows-birds-8062157/ VEUK

🌍 Western house martin (Delichon urbicum) The western house martin (also called the common house martin, northern house martin, or just, house martin) is a small, migratory member of the swallow family with a glossy blue-black back, pure white underparts, and a distinctive white rump. They are widely distributed across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, breeding in temperate regions and wintering in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical Asia. They are highly social, nesting colonially on buildings, typically under eaves, and feeding on insects caught in acrobatic flight. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Georg_Wietschorke via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-sitting-animal-feathers-7217625/ JMAF
