Tree Swallows Making A Ruckus

Tree Swallows have a beautiful iridescence in the right light. And they are some fast suckers! That's why hanging out near a bird house makes for a bit easier targets.

Since you all love Swallows, here’s one that’s comfy on the outside of their nest box #TreeSwallow #Birds #BirdPhotography #NorCalCoast2025 #Fujifilm #SoOC

Tree swallows have the best coloring and are happy to let you get close without flying away.

A Tree Swallow hunting for lunch in a meadow of long grass. It is always so rewarding when you can capture them in focus... they move so so so fast!

“Bound to the Breeze”

Genre(s): Wildlife Photography, Bird Photography


This image catches the same tree swallow just after taking flight from the fence. The bird is mid-air, slightly above the wire, wings fully outstretched in a graceful arc. You see its back facing the viewer more directly this time, with the metallic blue plumage gleaming under soft, natural light. The white belly and undertail are still visible, contrasting sharply with the darker wing feathers. Its legs and feet are curled up beneath its body, no longer gripping the wire. The background remains a painterly blur of springtime greens and earthy tones, emphasizing the swallow’s swift movement and the sudden release from its perch. The photograph conveys a fleeting moment of liberation and upward momentum.This is a close-framed photograph of a small songbird—a tree swallow—perched on a single strand of wire fencing. The bird faces right, with its body shown in profile. Its feathers are an iridescent cobalt blue on the head and back, transitioning to pure white on the throat and underside. One wing is lifted straight up, feathers fanned, as if the bird is about to spring into the air. The wire runs horizontally across the lower third of the image, gently curving under the bird’s weight. Behind it is a soft, out-of-focus backdrop of spring foliage in muted greens and browns, giving the impression of a quiet woodland edge. The overall mood is one of poised energy and imminent motion—freedom held a heartbeat away.
