This painting is based on the original photograph 'Glamorous Tree Swallow', by Cindy Treger, whose express consent has been requested to use it as a reference.

The Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) is a migratory bird with amazing deep-blue iridescent backs and clean white fronts. They live in open areas near water, such as fields, marshes, meadows, or shorelines, and are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They winter in southern North America, primarily in Florida, and along the Caribbean coast of Central America.

Tree Swallows usually nest in tree cavities, and hence their name. However, they are also keen on nest boxes. Whether natural and artificial cavities, they are likely to nest in isolated pairs or loose groups.

Known for their striking colors and their acrobatic twists and turns when they are chasing insects, they are quite a show to admire, their steely blue-green feathers linking in the sunlight. The tree swallow is a songbird, and their s song consists of three parts: the chirp, the whine, and the gurgle.

As a curiosity, They can form huge flocks numbering in the hundreds of thousands. They gather about an hour before sunset and form a dense cloud above a roost site.
