This bird can glide through the open sky like a tiny feathered acrobat.
The Violet-green swallow is a remarkable bird of the high forests and rocky canyons of western North America. Its glossy green back, striking violet rump, and brilliant white underparts make it instantly recognizable as it darts across the air searching for flying insects hidden in the breeze. It can even sweep its pointed wings while banking sharply, creating a flash of metallic color against the blue sky.
A fearless flier of the peaks, proving that some birds don’t need perches to feel completely at home.
