Editor's note: These tiny acrobats are fun to watch and they keep pests like flies under control, especially around a farm (hence the name “barn swallow”) where insects are a bother to cattle. Swallows are also beloved by the maritime community, as the sighting of one means you’re within reach of land (which is why they’re featured in so many old-timey Navy tattoos). Enjoy a beautiful collection and get some fun Swallow wallpapers for your screens!
