The Swallow — Summer's Messenger

from Birdznerdz Hosted by Wren

Every spring, it happens. A flash of steel blue and russet, a deeply forked tail streaming behind it, low and fast over a field — and you know. Winter is done. The swallows are back. But the swallow's story is so much bigger than that moment. Today we're covering the migration — a 6,000-mile journey across the Sahara. The nest built one mouthful of mud at a time. And why a bird that weighs less than an ounce is quietly telling us something about the state of half the planet. This is BIRDZ. I'm Wren.
