The Violetgreen swallow is gorgeous! They look much smaller when resting than they do while flying.

Thanks!

The Sweetwater Wetlands have such a great variety of birds. The Violet-Green swallows are so unusual. We miss it.

So very interesting!

We see swallows in Wisconsin nesting together under bridges as we kayak underneath them. Distinctive nests, but our swallows are plain brown colored.

You are beautiful birds. I can imagine what that feels like as you kayak under the bridge.
