Family groups of these birds inhabit open arid grasslands and open woodlands. They are about the size of a starling and are not true swallows.

Dreamy background colors, nice fine details and a good looking bird to boot

Love the subtle greys on this species Rob. Really a great looking bird. Super perch and BG too. Well done.

Nice detail color and composition Rob. The black coloration at the end of the beak really grabs my eye.
