Tree Swallows here, there and everywhere! Nesting has begun and these graceful aerialists can be seen at every Cape Ann beach, dune, and meadow–twisting, turning, dip, diving, and dashing while catching insects mid-air.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Kim-thanks for the info on swallows. I went to see the plovers nesting at Good Harbor and was just as amazed by all the swallows. I saw the blue and white like your photo; others had a darker color and speckles on their tails when flying. Beautiful!

Aren’t the Plovers wonderful to watch!, And swallows, too ❤ The darker ones, with the speckles on their tails, are Barn Swallows. I would love to see a Barn Swallow nest. 🙂
