Barn Swallow

Hirundo rustica

Notes 5

Swallows hunt bugs on the wing and do wonderful high-speed maneuvers quite close to the ground or people. They like just-mowed lawns or people walking across fields, both of which help stir up bugs. They have long, forked tails (fork not always visible), reddish throats, and bellies that are solid light reddish.
