Violet-green Swallow
Tachycineta thalassina
I noticed a cool looking new bird on our property while drinking my morning coffee.
AI Insight: Violet-green Swallows can't make their own nest holes, so they rely entirely on what woodpeckers leave behind or what humans provide. A cavity like this one is the whole reason the species can breed here.
