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. This swallow has to compete for nest sites with the common starling, house sparrow (both introduced to North America),[14] bluebirds,[88] and the house wren (which also destroys nests without occupying them). [25] Natal dispersal (when a bird does not return to the site it was born at to breed) is common in the tree swallow and occurs more frequently than breeding dispersal. They generally fledge about 18 to 22 days after hatching. Physiology. Day migrants are able to navigate using land formations they can see easily, such river valleys, coastlines, and mountain ranges. Research using tiny geolocators shows that after nesting a Tree Swallow usually moves to one of 10 major North American stopover or staging regions. This can benefit the male, but since the female controls copulation, the lack of resolution on how this behaviour benefits females makes the high level of extra-pair paternity puzzling. Fun Facts About Tree Swallows. The whine, generally consisting of a downward shift in frequency followed by an upward shift, may be given alone as the anxiety call,[18] occasionally made in response to certain predators. Roosting sites are generally 100 to 150 kilometres (62 to 93 mi) apart. [11] A study based on such nuclear DNA placed the tree swallow in the most basal position within Tachycineta as a whole (as a sister group to the rest of the genus). [43] There is also a significant population of female floaters; a 1985 study estimated that around 23% to 27% of females were floaters, of which about 47% to 79% were subadults. Tree Swallow Acrobatics all photos by Larry Jordan. I'm guessing they were an early group heading North for spring. The photo below shows a mixed group of Bank and Tree Swallows. [92] In another study, birds exposed to mercury fledged, on average, one less chick than those not, an effect amplified by warm weather. After an intense period of jostling for position on breeding grounds, tree swallows breed for a few months in late spring and early summer. This swallow usually defends an area around the nest with a radius of about 4.6 metres (15 ft),[7] as well as extra nests inside of that territory,[14] by blocking the entrance to the nest and chasing intruders.
