There's more......like lots more. The really cool ones and faster ones hail from Africa.
Generally speaking, about 24 miles per hour is a good estimate though of the two fastest swallows.
I am fond of the Connecticut Warbler. Lovely bird.
24 mph? In a residential area sure. But I've seen them on Interstates and so forth upwards of 65 even 75 mph. And the Connecticut wabler, well my goodness. I had only had a few drinks that night when all the sudden..........................wait, did you say wabler, or warbler?
