The Barn Swallow is the most abundant and widespread swallow species in the world.
Barn Swallows dart gracefully fields and open water in search of flying insects.
They have a long deeply forked tail that sets it apart from other North American swallows.
An interesting fact.
It was the millinery trade’s impact on Barn Swallows that prompted naturalist George Bird Grinnell’s 1886 Forest & Stream editorial decrying the waste of bird life that led to the first Audubon Society. All About Birds
