Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds and Nature in Natural Colors, Vol. 14: A Monthly Serial; Forty Illustrations by Color Photography; A Guide in the Study of Nature; June, 1903 to December, 1903 The flight of the Tree Swallow is mar velons and wonderfully beautiful. It flies more in Circles than do the other swallows, especially at the approach of night, when the flight is much lower than it is earlier in the day. Its flight does not seem. To have the velocity of that of the barn swallow nor of the Chimney swift, yet it is graceful and suggests the great endurance of the bird. They skim above the water, hour after hour, frequently uttering a faint squeak, which doubtless expresses their gratification at the capture of a Choice morsel, or their disappointment at a failure. Upward or downward, forward and turning, skim ming over the water or sailing in curves, its flight is so easy that we may, with Alice Cary, call this little bird a swim mer of the air.
