Originally nesting in caves and on rocky cliffs, the modern-day swallow generally prefers to inhabit man-made structures. This choice of habitat accounts for its distinction as one of the world's most well-known birds. The Barn Swallow is also recognized for its fast, direct flight. Thus, most of its insect prey is skillfully captured on the wing.

This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood® Commemorative Cover for the limited edition collection of The Songbirds of the Fifty States. Each cover was postmarked on the anniversary of statehood in the appropriate state capital.
