Geocache Description:

This cache is a small size camo jar inside of a regular size container (if you could call it that). Please don't force the larger container open, there is a part that is loose. There is room inside both containers for trade items. There is also a pen in the jar, please do not remove it. The FTF may take 3 of items of their choice that are already in the cache.

Info Bite: The Tree Swallow, Tachycineta bicolor, is a migratory passerine bird that breeds in North America and spends winters in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. (A passerine bird is a bird that belongs to the order Passeriformes, which includes more than half of bird species! Passerine birds are also known as songbirds or perching birds). This swallow averages 13.5 cm (5 inches) long and weighs about 20 g. They have a slender body and long wings which allow them to be very agile. They have a small neck,legs,and feet. Although these birds have small beaks, they can open them very wide to catch insects in mid-flight. The adult birds' lower half of their body is white and the upper half of their bodies are blue/green and iridescent. The males are more blueish and the females' colors are more dull and green. The younger birds are brown/gray and also have white underbellies. Their diet is mainly based on insects, sometimes supplemented with small quantities of fruit. The trees in this area would make great hangouts and breeding places for Tree Swallows. Some places might be more preferred over others, and maybe even less work to set up. This cache is hidden where some Tree Swallows might choose to breed. Congrats to Soquel1930 for the FTF.
