It is five or five and a half inches long; the upper parts are brownish gray; the lower parts are white with the exception of a brownish gray band across the breast; the throat is white; there is a small tuft of feathers above the hind toe. This Swallow usually ex cavates horizontally a hole in a bank to a depth of two or three feet in which it builds its nest. It lays from four to six pure white eggs. Sometimes as many as a hundred or more are .close together. Its food is composed altogether of insects, which it with wide spread mouth catches on the wing. Its song is a mere twitter.
