Swallow, Tree (Iridoprocne bicolor) 



The tree swallow is of more or less local distribution. In 

 marshlands and near bodies of water, it is found nesting in holes, 

 on limbs or in nesting boxes. It is especially common in the 

 central lake region and around the lakes of the Adirondacks, 

 where 'there are many dead tree stumps, and in western New 

 York, where it takes kindly to nesting boxes. Another name for 

 this bird is white-bellied swallow. 6

These birds took possession of what had doubtless been an old 

 downy woodpecker nest. The nest was 5 or 6 feet above the 

 ground. The tree swallow likewise utilizes nesting boxes placed 

 on poles above buildings.
