: Our tree swallows occupy an anthropogenically modified landscape where interactions with humans and vehicles are commonplace, and we would have approached nests for routine monitoring even had we not measured flush initiation distances. When handling birds for sexing and banding, we worked as quickly and as quietly as possible to minimize stress. All procedures were approved by the Acadia University Animal Care Committee (Protocol 03-16R#1). All applicable guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed.
