Barn Swallow

Hirundo rustica

Description:

Four fledgling Barn Swallows in a nest right outside my front door. I love their "Got Milk" faces.

Habitat:

One can find the adaptable Barn Swallow feeding in open habitats from fields, parks, and roadway edges to marshes, meadows, ponds, and coastal waters. Their nests are often easy to spot under the eaves or inside of sheds, barns, bridges and other structures.

Notes:

Nesting in archway of Gatehouse, Lantern Court, The Holden Arboretum, Lake County, Kirtland, OH
