Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Do barn swallows eat fish?

I agree completely with Meadowlark. Barn Swallows eat a tremendous amount of insects - enough that we put up with the s*** that comes with having them nest on our front porch each Summer.

I like how they fly a "Combat Air Patrol" around me while I am bush-hogging or cutting hay, picking off the bugs I have kicked up with the tractor. Sometimes there are 30 or 40 of them wheeling around within 20 yards or so.
