All About The Barn SwallowComes north about first or second week in April. Remains until late September or October--builds and travels in flocks or companies--winters in South or Central America. Song--a constant twitter. Head and upper parts except forehead steel blue--tail feathers marked with white--forehead and throat clear chestnut colour--chest and lower body paler chestnut. Food--chiefly insects caught while on the wing. Nest--built chiefly of mud--chooses under eaves or cavelike places for building--mud mixed with grasses and (one authority also asserts) a sticky saliva from the bird's mouth. Eggs--white, tinted a delicate rose, and speckled finely with brown and purple.--Two or three broods in a season. Next: The Hawk And The Raven From The Barnyard Fence Previous: The Swallows
