CLIFF SWALLOW 1953 National' Wlldlif, Federation In some areas this relatively com mon swallow Is - known as the Eaves Swallow. The names suggest that the birds may. rest under the eaves of buildings or on cliffs. The nests are often more obvious than the birds. They are usually gourd shaped structures of mud with a lining of grass, leaves, feathers and wool. Of course, they differ from the burows of the Bank Swallows and the mud nests of the Barn Swallows. . ' The National Wildlife Federation is interested in all kinds of wildlife whether this refers to game species br not and would welcome observa tions made on these birds. The Cliff Swallow, Petrochelidon pyrrhonota, is about 6 inches long with a wing spread of Just over 1 foot and a tan about 2- inches long. The sexes are about equal in size.

The upper . parts are steel blue, much like those of the Barn Swallow. While the Bank Swallow has a whitish throat patch, the throat of the Cliff Swallow is dark. V ' There are 8 subspecies of Cliff Swallow recognized: the Northern, the Mexican and the Lesser. : Of these, the Northern has as its breed ing ground the region from central Alaska to Cape Breton Island south through the United States except for Florida:! and the; Rio , Grande Valley. In winter, the birds migrate south through Florida and Central America to Brazil and the Argen tine returning to the North in time for the Spring breeding season. ; In the nest the female Cliff Swalt low lays 4 or 5 white, or creamy and pinkish eggs .that are marked with dark brown or reddish brown. The eggs are about four-fifth inch by two-third inch at their maximum and it would take 16 of them to reach a weight of one ounce. There is but one annual brood and the incubation- and the care of .; the young is shared by both parents. Incubation takes from 12 to 14 days. , The fact that Cliff Swallows nest in colonies is often to their disad vantage. Such colonies are bound to attract attention and survival in any species is more likely if atten tion of potential enemies is avoided. In the nest-making, muddy ma- STAR THEATRE Beulaville, N.

"The result of course is that the cause is re. moved. This is unfortunate both for the swallows and for the men in volved. The food of these swallows is almost exclusively insects. Among the insects found in some 375 stom achs of these birds were the follow ing whose names are ' likely to raise the ire of farmers and those whose living depends on the raising of plant .crops: . Alfalfa weevils, chinch bugs, rice weevils, and cot ton boll weevils.' With them were spiders and now and then a few wild berries. ' One should not evaluate all of nature solely on an economic basis and anyone who has taken the op portunity of studying Cliff Swall ows or other swallows for that matter need not, be , enlighted by lists of noxious creatures that enter the diet of the birds to become i their, champions.
