Swallows Travel Alone
Ornithologists say swallows are
almost the only birds which travel
in migration during the daylight
alone. Most migrating birds eat
during the day and travel at night,
but the swallows sleep at night. It
is said that they are slow travelers
and do not like to fly over water. If
they encounter a bay, or river, they
patiently fly around it.
