Mangrove Swallow

Mangrove Swallow — Original Watercolor Painting
6 x 6 inches on Fabriano Hot Press 140lb Paper – Unframed

Graceful in flight and shimmering in the sun, the Mangrove Swallow (Tachycineta albilinea) is a familiar sight along tropical rivers, lakeshores, and coastal mangroves. With its iridescent green and blue plumage and clean white underparts, this agile insectivore skims low over the water, catching its meals on the wing.

This 6 x 6 inch original watercolor, painted on archival Fabriano Hot Press 140lb paper, captures the Mangrove Swallow’s poised stillness before takeoff. The painting highlights the subtle shifts in color across its wings and crown, as it perches on a weathered piece of driftwood common to its waterside habitat.

Part of my Tropical Songbird Series, this unframed original is perfect for collectors, birders, and those inspired by the quiet beauty of coastal ecosystems. Pair it with others in the collection to celebrate the variety and vitality of tropical birdlife.
