Figure 1 Hallinger (2026): Responses of immigrant and local female life history to variation in breeding environment. Lines represent marginal effects of the y-axis variable predicted from general and generalized linear mixed-effects models with the R function ggpredict() (Lüdecke, 2018). Shaded areas represent 95% CIs. To reduce point overlap and improve visualization of differences between immigrant and local females, points in panel (b) are jittered slightly on the x-axis, points in panel (e) are jittered slightly on the y-axis at y = 1, and points in panel (f) are slightly transparent.

A group of tree swallows sit on a rope rail along a boardwalk. Their bright blue coloring is highlighted by their white breast feathers
Tree swallows taking a moment to rest during a cold day at the marsh. As we followed the boardwalk, they continuously took flight and landed in our path.

A parent Tree Swallow feeding a fledgling while several other fledglings look on with open mouths.
The Hangry Diaries: Series Finale. 🎬
One fledgling gets fed. The rest of the union is devastated.
Thank you for tuning into this season of The Hangry Diaries! I hope you enjoyed the screaming as much as I did.

Fledgling: "MORE!"
Parent: Stares poignantly into the camera lens, wondering if it's too late to change their name and move to a different nest.

An adult Tree Swallow hovering to feed a fledgling who is perched on a branch.
The Hangry Diaries: The Payoff. 🏆
It turns out, geometry matters.
By pivoting to the side, the fledgling created the perfect landing strip. The result? A successful high-speed delivery right into the gullet. Finally, silence (for at least 30 seconds).

A fledgling Tree Swallow in profile with its beak wide open, begging for food on a branch.
The Hangry Diaries: The Side Angle. 📐
We are trying a new tactic today: The Profile Pose.
This fledgling has pivoted to give the adults a clear flight path right into the "landing zone." It’s a bold play to be seen during a high-speed fly-by. Will it work? Stay tuned.

Two juvenile Tree Swallows sitting side-by-side on a thin branch.
The Hangry Diaries: Part 3. 👯
Strategy update: Unionize.
These two are sharing a very thin perch to double their visibility. They are convinced that "two mouths are louder than one."

A fledgling Tree Swallow perched on a branch, looking straight at the camera with a sad, disappointed expression.
The Hangry Diaries, Part 2: The Betrayal. 💔
We have moved past the screaming phase. We are in the "silent judgment" phase.
This is the look of a fledgling who just watched the delivery truck fly right past the branch. It isn't mad, just... disappointed. (Okay, it's also mad).

Welcome to Part 1 of "The Hangry Diaries." 📖
This fledgling Tree Swallow is starring in my new mini-series about the drama of waiting for lunch.

A male Tree Swallow with a white front, blue head, and blue & brown wings, perched on a brown metal pipe that's strapped onto a wooden bird box. It was early spring, and there was new green grass on the ground and brown trees with green leaves in the blurred background. Seen at Broadmoor W.S. in Natick, Massachusetts.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StareDown, birds looking right at you. This #TreeSwallow was not too happy that I stopped to take his photo! (Natick, MA - 5/1/24) 😠💙

The Tree Swallow has made her escape, leaving the Eastern Bluebird to claim the prize. He’s looking out from the entrance with a very smug "mission accomplished" vibe.
