Tree Swallow Plays Woodpecker
Here is a quick video of a Tree Swallow pecking away at a bird house on a post in out yard. Tree Swallows, not to be confused with a Blue Jay or Blue Bird, is of the Hirundinidae family although they do look very similar. The Tree Swallow has a dark strip that out lines their wings and their head is a bit more round as opposed to a Blue Jay with a pointy head. They peck at trees and bird houses to open up a hole or cavity or to get little wood chips to put into their nests. This here is an adult Tree Swallow as shown with his blue color scheme. Here is a bit more information from 'allaboutbirds.org' on the Tree Swallow.
"Handsome aerialists with deep-blue iridescent backs and clean white fronts, Tree Swallows are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They chase after flying insects with acrobatic twists and turns, their steely blue-green feathers flashing in the sunlight. Tree Swallows nest in tree cavities; they also readily take up residence in nest boxes."
Tree Swallows are quite the bird in both their behavior and looks. I was able to walk within 5 feet of this guy before he flew away. He sure is a noisy bird with his pecking but his song is beautiful too! Thank you for watching and have a wonderful day!
