A migratory species, barn swallows travel from North American breeding grounds to winter in Central and South America. These birds are extraordinary aerial feeders, catching insects on the wing with remarkable precision. Their nests are typically cup-shaped structures made of mud and straw, often built under eaves or inside old buildings, where they return annually. Their presence is a familiar sight in rural and suburban areas, where they play a vital role in controlling insect populations.
