Tree Swallow (on the right) trying to deter the martins.
Observation details
Very surprised to see these here. (I saw that there was only one previous recorded sighting of these birds in this location, in April 2007.) On Glacial Hill, seen from Old Orchard Trail (we were warned off the viewing area by a visitor who had been swarmed by bees.) The resident Tree Swallows were not thrilled by the intrusion and attempted scaring off the perching martins by flying around them at close distance (last three pics). These attempts were ignored.
