Description
Oh, how I wish I understood swallow-talk! Evidently something important was going on that had to be related. I'm imagining the male is on the right, telling the female on the left that he caught and ate a great big bug, or maybe he is saying that he would like to sit on that mullein and could she please give him a turn. Or maybe he's telling her how beautiful she is! What do you think the conversation is about?
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.
