''Tachycineta'' (Greek: ''tachýs'' "fast", ''kīnéō'' "move") is a genus of birds in the swallow family. There are nine described species. Its members are restricted to the Americas. These are slender swallows with forked tails. Most species have a metallic green back, green or blue head, and metallic blue or unglossed brown wings. All have pure white underparts, and four species have a white rump. ''Tachycineta'' swallows are mostly at least partially migratory, with only golden and mangrove swallow being essentially resident. All the species use natural or disused cavities for nest sites. == Species in taxonomic order == * Tree swallow (''Tachycineta bicolor'') * Violet-green swallow (''Tachycineta thalassina'') * Golden swallow (''Tachycineta euchrysea'') * Bahama swallow (''Tachycineta cyaneoviridis'') * Tumbes swallow (''Tachycineta stolzmanni'') * Mangrove swallow (''Tachycineta albilinea'') * White-winged swallow (''Tachycineta albiventer'') * White-rumped swallow (''Tachycineta leucorrhoa'') * Chilean swallow (''Tachycineta meyeni'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tachycineta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
