Tree and Barn Swallows

“One swallow does not a summer make.” That line, coined by Aristotle about 350bce, describes the Barn Swallow, one of the most widespread bird species in the world, native to five continents. Barn Swallows that breed in North America migrate to Central and South America for the winter. Tree Swallows, in contrast, are strictly North American, and don’t migrate nearly as far.

Pairing Up and Nesting

Tree and Barn Swallows often nest in large, loose groups, but each pair maintains a small territory around the nest.
