head is concealed orange red crest.
The under parts are white. washed
with gray on the breast. The tail is
black, tipped with white. The nest is
built at the end of branch of some
low tree, several feet from the ground,
and is compact structure, composed
OF leaves. string, weeds, grass, fine
rootlets, bark and hair. The number
of eggs are generally FIVE, and they
are creamy white, spotted with dark
brown and purple gray.

this paper, has seen the Barn Swallow,
but how many have seen the bird at
work building her nest? Some day
If you hide away inside the barn, and
keep very quiet. you can witness this
very interesting performance.
One day last summer | was out on a
farm, and in the barn | heard great
chattering and chirping, and discover.
ed the Barn Swallow were building.
AS the male of most bird families
does not assist his mate in this work,
! concluded that 1t was he who was
doing the chattering. whsle the little
housewife carried the mud and straw
of which the walls of the house were
built. Most of the time he was inside
the half-finished nest giving advice.
while she worked
There were three nests under way.
and they were round in form and the
mud and straw were firmly and
smoothly plastered together. and the
inside of finished one was lined with
soft feathers from the chicken yard,
These birds are very graceful, and
they go about In colonies, flying
low over the meadows and fields while
on the lookout for the insects on
which they feed.
The male and the female Barn
Swallow are marked alike. The upper
parts are steely blue throat, upper
breast and forehead are chestnut
rufous in color, and the under parts
are washed with the same, shading to
buff- The tail is very slender, and
deeply forked. The female is slight
ly smaller than the male. and her col
oring is paler. She raises two broods
