Not saying I can or will draw one, but just curious 😛 Yeah, like Palm Warbler said, you can use any reference photo you want, as long as your drawing doesn't look exactly like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my (limited) experience they only nest near bodies of water. Is it different out east?

Well, I'm very close to the Mohawk River. I know I've seen some nesting along there- sometimes in nestboxes meant for Wood Ducks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, I didn't know that. There are quite a few small ponds in my neighborhood. I guess it doesn't matter if it's a small pond or a big lake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 In my old house that was very suburban, I had tree swallows nest every year in my yard. They also nest in bird houses out in the farm lands/prairies on fence posts and I wouldn’t exactly say that those are anywhere near water. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
