A person whose appearance matches these characteristics is said to be a Caucasian. Caucasians don't always have white skin but in the United States caucasian is commonly used to mean white people. Caucasians are found in many countries around the world. So while a Caucasian person in the United States may share certain racial characteristics with a Caucasian person from France, the two people have different ethnic backgrounds â one American, the other French.
Make sure you know when the baby birds are due to fledged. This occurs at different times depending on the species; for example, bluebirds fledged at days 16-21, tree swallows at days 18-17 and purple martins at around 20 days. Open nesters generally fledged around day 12, while cavity nesters stay longer.
If you have a Barn Swallow nest near your home, check on the babies every day or two. Try to spend extra time near the nest when the babies are getting close to fledging, and see if you can watch them fledge. If you see a Barn Swallow's first flight, write to us at Journey North and describe what you saw!
