Tachycineta bicolor

Tree Swallow

Baumschwalbe

This iridescent blue-green bird with its white belly is the first swallow to appear in the spring. Its habit of feeding on vegetable food such as seeds and berries when insects aren't available helps the bird withstand bad weather in early spring. Reifel Sanctuary, Ladner, BC. Canada
