Stock Photo: Northern Rough Winged Swallow Relaxing
ID 248358148 © Fallsview | Megapixl.com
Northern rough winged swallow is plainest swallow in North America. Plain brown above with indistinct brown wash across throat and breast. Wings are relatively broad; tail is short and square or slightly notched. Juveniles have rusty wingbars. “Ridgway’s†subspecies, mainly found on the Yucatan peninsula, is larger and lankier, almost recalling a martin. Look for the deeper notch in the tail and dark-tipped undertail coverts. Often seen near water, sometimes in mixed flocks with other swallows.
