Birds Likely to be Observed in Oregon
Location in Oregon
Tree Swallow
Tachycineta bicolor -
Common nester in tree
cavities or nest boxes, especially near water. Song is of
separate liquid notes. These fellows are daily welcome visitors at
our house. They begin early in the morning diving and swooping
here and there for insects they catch on the fly. About six of
them spend the day happily munching on our bountiful supply of
winged insects. They have the day duty and then in the evening a
flock of bats take up duty to finish off the night flying
insects. We are happy to have both. Several have occupied some nests we
put up for them.
