Daily Birding 📷 160
Barn Swallow - Hirundo rustica
I was able to get a few pictures of the Barn Swallows! They are very swift and fly erratically in their pursuit of insects, so they can be difficult to photograph. It was a fun challenge and I will keep working to get better photos.
Barn Swallows of one species or another live on almost every continent. They feed almost entirely on insects. You can see them soaring over fields, and water masses such as lakes, rivers, streams, and marshes to catch insects out of the air. Their acrobatics are very entertaining. At a few of the ponds I have visited, they will soar close around me and right above my head.
Have you ever seen this bird in your area or anywhere you have traveled?

Want to have your post on the map too?
STOPWe do have a lot of them here too; but hard to get them on camera without being blurry, they move really fast :)
