Excerpt from Tiny Houses and Their Builders I shall talk to you about a great many birds. I shall take you into distant lands, and even on to the sea, and tell you many curious and interesting things, but there are few birds more curious and interesting than our own little swallows, and I intend to begin with them. I call them our own swallows, for, though I have heard people say that they are selfish, because they only visit us to enjoy the sweet summer-time, and forsake us in the winter, I do not agree with them. Swallows are not visitors, they build their nests here, and it is here that they rear their young, and if they leave us in the winter, it is only because, like some of ourselves, they cannot live in a cold climate, and so they very wisely take their dear little families away for the months that it would not agree with their constitutions to spend here, making their appearance among us again early in April, and not ¿ying off till the end of September, or, in mild seasons, the middle of October.
