Swallows feed their young in the air. Martins, & swallows, that have numerous families, are continually feeding them: while swifts that have but two young to maintain, seem much at their leisure, & do not attend on their nests for hours together, nor appear at all in blowing wet days. Swifts retire to their nests in very heavy showers.
