Birds

I saw a swallow in Finland that I hadn't seen before. It is called a barn swallow, or Haapäärasky. I will show photos of a Haapäärasky and of a North American barn swallow. Here is Maryland, we sometimes see barn swallows, as well as Purple Martins, Tree Swallows and Bank Swallows. I'm not sure, but I think our local barn swallows are the most common where I live. The local barn swallows have a buff-colored breast, blue wings, and rust-colored areas on the throat and head.
