Open areas, grasslands, and agricultural lands in parts of East Asia, breeding in areas like China and wintering in Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Look for its rufous rump and extensively rufous underparts. Observe its agile flight. Differentiating it from other similar species might require close views of plumage patterns and knowledge of its range.
When to spot
Breeding season (spring/summer) in East Asia; winter (autumn/winter) in Southeast Asia.

Like other members of the Cecropis genus, this swallow builds elaborate, enclosed mud nests with a tubular entrance, a clever design for protecting its brood.
