Abstract:

The tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) has expanded its range throughout North Carolina and the southeast, despite its reputation has a generally sporadic or irregular breeder. Research shows that land clearing, impoundments and other land use patterns, the reintroduction of beavers, and the use of bluebird boxes by swallows as nest sites appear to have facilitated the expansion.
