|
| The Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) nests widely across most of the United States and Canada. As the common name implies, this species is a cavity nester and will choose a nest in a hollow tree or stump or, often, a man-made nest box. The first four shots here were taken at Red Rocks Lake N.W.R., Beaverhead Co., Montana, in June, 2001, with a Canon EOS 3 and EF 600mm F/4 L lens and 1.4X extender on Fuji Provia film. Two shots show a bird perched at a nest cavity. |  |

| The next 2 shots show a Tree Swallow peering from a nest box at Kettle Creek State Park, Clinton Co., Pennsylvania, in June, 2010. These shots were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and an EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and 580 flash. |  |

| The next seven shots show a Tree Swallow at Potter Marsh, Anchorage, Alaska, in May, 2012. These images were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and an EF 500mm F/4 L IS lens. The bird is perched on the hand rail of the boardwalk. |  |
