Tree Swallow on Oak Ridges Trail
I saw my first spring Tree Swallow this past week on the Oak Ridges Trail north of King City. They do return to Ontario in early spring and they usually feed on flying insects. They will however rely on berries and seeds until there are lots of the flying bugs. Their habitats include open woodlands, marshes, roadsides, pastures and fields, but because their main food supply is flying insects and because they are adept flyers, they spend a large amount of time in the air, foraging above marshes, ponds and small lakes.
Please comment if you wish.
