I Spotted A Bird I Had Never Seen Before
Author: siggyI spotted a pair of birds I had never seen before in the park. I knew they were swallows but I did not know what kind. I dug up my bird book and identified them as tree swallows. The male had a vivid blue head. I knew the River had cliff swallows. They are somewhat drab looking. I thought it might be a barn swallow but that was not the case. They came from nowhere and for a short time hovered back and forth over the fence that enclosed the basketball court and then disappeared. I was thrilled to see a species of birds I had never seen before.
