Have you ever seen the silhouette of a swal- low? It is unmistakable… with its sharplypointed, angled wings and forked tail. Swallowsare a group of passerine birds characterized bytheir adaptation to aerial feeding. Swallowshave adapted to hunting insects on the wing bydeveloping a slender streamlined body, andlong pointed wings, which allows great maneu-verability and endurance. Swallows are oftenseen darting swiftly across the sky, catchinginsects in midair.
