JUNE 2022 THE RIDER /39 Internet Barn Swallow Sources (and other birds and Swallows)


By Linda Glass Ward This article contains a list of places to look


on the internet for barn swallow information. I have included links to two other videos to watch which I find very interesting. One is about Blue- birds and the other is about Swifts. On Facebook there are four Barn Swallow


groups to join. Two are in the USA; Barn Swal- lows Loft, Barn Swallow Landlords United, and in the UK; SOSSSH - Save Our Swifts Swallows Sand Martins and House Martins, All Things Swal- lows UK – Lets Save Our Swallows.


This is from The Cornell Lab. It has bird in-


formation including plans for a shelf that is de- signed for American Robins and Barn Swallows, also maps showing species in decline. ht tps : / /ne s twa t ch.org/ l e a rn/ a l l - about - birdhouses/birds/barn-swallow/
