Tree Swallow
Tree Swallow resting on the bird house post while looking at me. Photo taken in my backyard 06/15/2007. I have bluebird nesting boxes and purple martin gourds in my yard and around the property line. Sad to say, the tree swallows have taken over the nesting boxes and gourds. A bluebird isn’t a territory bird they will let sparrows or tree swallows take over their nesting boxes and go somewhere else for nesting. The photo was taken in the village of Orwell Hill, PA.

BigD replied
Lois, it was only 8 to 10 feet away. The Tree Swallows love human contact. Thanks for the great review. BigD

.. just read your note … I’ve actually cleared out a bluebird box on our property. Had seen bluebirds flitting around it .. when a stupid house wren snuck in and started setting up housekeeping!!! GRRRR!!! I’d like to say the bluebirds came back and made their home there, but … sigh … oh well!!
BigD replied
It’s disappointing when the other birds takes over the nesting boxes. The tree swallows will take over first and then the sparrows chase the tree swallows away. It’s some cycle but that’s nature. Thanks for the great review. BigD
