Brown-throated Martin

Riparia paludicola

Description:

Small brownish bird n the swallow family.

Notes:

It was so hot, that the martins, like most of the other birds we saw, spent even the early hours panting. The next night a storm blew in and cooled things down, dropping 4 1/2 inches in about the course of 3 hours.
