Told you to pick out a house early! (Tachycineta bicolor)

This little guy was very upset when he found the house sparrows had taken over their usual nest boxes on our upper deck. The swallows are always here early but don't claim their nest boxes until weeks later and by that time the house sparrows have taken them over.

Oh, wow, I can really believe she's saying that to him! He must be used to hearing her nag. A top-notch behavioral capture as well as a superb study of typical gender plumage in the Tree Swallow. Thanks so much for sharing this, Vicki ... it's unforgettable!
