Reading edition

This account of the nesting habits seems to refer to the Barn Swallow, Hirundo erythrogastra (Bodd). I am not aware that this bird now nests at Fort Churchill, though it is not unlikely that it did so formerly. The cliffs in the vicinity would afford ideal natural nesting sites.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
