Is this not the cutest bird face ever? It’s pretty fun when the swallows migrate back for the summer as they often flock in large numbers and with several species present. I counted five different species as I watched and photographed the flock catching insects along the shore of a nearby lake. They would often perch on whatever they could find before flying out to hunt again. This is a Violet-Green Swallow and, at a distance, can be confused with a Tree Swallow as they both appear to be greenish and white. But the Violet-Green Swallow has some very distinctive coloration as it’s name implies and I’ll post another photo later showing the beautiful colors of this species. But for now, this face was just too cute not to share.
