Swooping,
graceful, low,
flowing flight -
almost always
water nearby.
Deeply forked
tail streamers,
spotted with white.
Dark metallic-blue
upper parts with
chestnut-red forehead
and throat.
A half-cup nest
build of mud and grass
hidden under
eaves of buildings
or under bridges.
One April -
I was out of town,
and found Barn Swallows
in Peru.
