THE SWALLOW. 



is flashing at lightning speed through 

 the air and at rest on some house-top 

 or tree, and is an exceedingly sweet and 

 exhilarating warble frequently repeated. 

 During dull weather, when swallows fly 

 low, they utter a note like wet wet, and 

 their alarm cry has been fittingly written 

 down as feetafeet-feetafetit. Inside build- 

 ings they also use another, which is a 

 clear, ringing pink pink.
