Description
Barn Swallow chasing insects. I was happy to get this photo because swallows are so darn swift that it's a challenge to get them in flight!
Photo was taken with a background of blue plastic, so I replaced it with a pic of the sky.
A familiar little bird in rural areas and semi-open country, the Barn Swallow gracefully skims low over meadows, water and farmyards looking for insects to eat, or perches on wires. During the breeding season, Barn Swallows fly down to pick up mud and grass for nesting materials. Their mud nests are often tucked under the eaves of barns, stables, or bridges, or other structures. You can find Barn Swallows across most of North America, as well as Europe and Asia, wintering to southern Africa and South America.
Photo taken on May 24th, 2019, in Denver, Colorado.
