The barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) is a well-known and beloved migratory bird species that can be found throughout much of North America.

Contrary to popular belief, these graceful aerial acrobats are indeed native to the continent, with a range that extends from Alaska and Canada down to the southern United States and parts of Central America.

Each spring, barn swallows embark on an impressive long-distance journey, traveling thousands of miles to reach their breeding grounds.

🐦 These migratory patterns are closely tied to the availability of their preferred food sources – flying insects such as flies, moths, and beetles. - https://farmhousebarns.com/blog/are-barn-swallows-native-north-america/?unique_id_qpzlz4pb
