Tree Swallow Adults: Batman in a Tux (Photos)

My husband thinks Tree Swallows look like they are wearing a batman cap and cape. Susan Renkle described them as Tuxedo Birds. (Yes, he is standing on a wine cork. I use them to prevent water from getting into the 3/4″ conduit the boxes are mounted on, as when the water freezes and thaws during the winter, it splits the conduit.) Photo by Bet Zimmerman.

Tree Swallows are very brave, and this female is reluctant to abandon her eggs when I approach to monitor the box.
