| Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) and Western Gull (Larus occidentalis) |
These swallows were seen at Green Lake in Seattle, Washington on May 31st, 2011. I think that Washington is the land of the swallow- they are seemingly everywhere (like the
bald eagle). It is hard to get a picture of these birds since they fly around so quickly. You can read more about these birds and see their brilliant coloring
here. Tree swallows exhibit counter shading, which you can read more about
here.
