TREE SWALLOW

by Karl

    All birds have feathers.  They lay hard shelled eggs.  They have two legs and have wings.  They have back bones and some birds have a good sense of hearing.  Birds are vertebrates  (with back bones) and birds are warm blooded.

I am researching about a bird called Tree Swallow.  It is a very shiny bird.  The song is a liquid chattering, and the contact note is a repeated siyip.  It was the first swallow to arrive to North America. It eats insects, and in the winter it has a diet of berries. The eggs are 4-6 inches and pure white, unmarked. The female is similar to the male, but duller. You can fined the tree swallow in New York only in the summer time. Migration: complete, to Mexico and Central America. That is all about the bird I was researching.
