Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) may be the most widespread and well-known passerine, with highly migratory populations that span the Asia, Africa, Europe and Americas. They are recognizable even at a distance by its extremely long forked tail and dark rump. It spends a lot of time in flight, zipping over fields and ponds in search of insects. Appears dark above (iridescent navy blue in good light) and lighter below; belly color varies considerably across its extremely wide distribution, ranging from white to orange. Typically nests near people, in barns or under docks and other structures. In this frame, I got a resting bird after its busy schedule.
