Tree Swallows From Davidsons Mill Pond Park

Posted on May 6, 2021

The Eastern Bluebirds and the Tree Swallows were really going at it to secure the nesting boxes that are scattered about the park. Quite a few are along one stretch of the main open area. A lot of activity, but they were all over the place so with the camera & lens I was using I did not get any of the action shots. I was using the Canon R with the 150-600mm Tamron lens with a Sigma 2X Teleconverter for a focal length of 1200mm. Here are a series of images of the Tree Swallows around some of the nesting boxes.

Tree Swallows Take Over Bluebird Box.

Posted on May 14, 2018

A few days before Tree Swallows and Bluebirds were fi ghting over this box. They kept swooping down and attacking the birds trying to get in the box. I had a 24-105mm lens with me that day and I did not want to get too close to the box to photograph the action. It seems the Tree Swallows must have won the battle since they were in the box on this day.
