Northern Rough-Winged Swallow in Flight

Two kinds of brown-backed swallows nest in holes in dirt banks. The Rough-wing is the solitary one, not nesting in colonies like the Bank Swallow. It is usually seen singly or in small groups, even during migration, in rapid low flight over rivers or fields. The name “Rough-winged” comes from small serrations on the outermost wing feathers. The function of these is unknown, but they may produce sounds during courtship flights.

Latin: Stelgidopteryx serripennis
