OF course we know that swallows
drink as they skim over the surface of
water. We have seen how here and
there the water ripples on pond
when swallows are gracefully skim
ming to and fro. One day l sat down
beside a small pond where every even
ing many barn swallows came to battle
and drink on the surface of the CLASSY
water. With sketch book and pencil in
hand l closely watched the birds, and
you may imagine my delight to see just
how they managed to touch and dip up
the water as they came within a few
steps of me. You see, the swallow
takes up water in its lower bill just as
you would dip up a little water in a
spoon or In the hollow Of your hand
while you glided over the surface in a
boat. only the under half of the open
bill touches the water. If the upper
half were also to touch. the water
would be forced out on either side in
stead of being scooped up into the bill.
