BirdNote: Barn Swallows

Copyright Paul Bannick

Sat 5/18/13 9:58 am This lovely creature is a Barn Swallow. Notice the rich colors! A genuine master of the air, the swallow swoops low along the ground at high speed, changing direction in the blink of an eye. This prodigy has flown all the way from South America, to offer - without fee - its services as a prolific collector of flying insects, which it vacuums from the air. The Barn Swallow is a common summer visitor.
