Tachycineta thalassina
These are beautiful swallows with purple, green, and white plumage. Slightly shorter and more compact than the Tree swallow. Males are distinguished from females by a whiter cheek.
Spotted at the edge of a wetland pond near the green River at Flaming Geyser State Park in western Washington state.
Ranges in western North America and migrate to Mexico and Central America for the winter.
