 HIRUNDO WILDLIFE REFUGE
Hirundo Wildlife Refuge is a self-supporting trust administered by the Trustees of Hirundo Wildlife Refuge.
The name, "Hirundo," is derived from the Latin word, "Hirundinidae", which is the ornithological term for the tree swallow family, a bird prevalent in this area of Maine.
As the Hirundo Wildlife Refuge was being developed, artifacts were found along the river bank that later proved to be left by a tribe known as the Red Paint people.

 IngentaConnect Immunoglobulin plasma concentration in relation to egg laying and...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-18)
Female birds transmit immunoglobulins to the egg, which can confer protection against parasites to their offspring after hatching, but allocation of immune factors can depend on the reproductive value of the offspring as affected, for example, by the quality of their father.
We analyse the variation in immunoglobulin levels of female barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) during the breeding cycle in relation to the expression of a secondary sexual character of their mates.
Circulating immunoglobulins peaked on approximately the day before that of laying of their first egg, but postlaying concentration was similar to the concentration well before laying.

I estimate that at least seventy-five thousand Barn Swallows Hirundo rustica were feeding over the lake that morning; perhaps far more than this conservative figure.
Among them were numbers of Tree Swallows Tachycineta bicolor, Northern Rough-winged Swallows Stelgidopteryx serripennis, and Bank Swallows Riparia riparia, along with a few Cliff Swallows Petrochelidon pyrrhonota and at least one Cave Swallow Petrochelidon fulva.

Endocrine Patterns during Aging in the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo)
Blood samples were taken from breeding common terns (Sterna hirundo) of known age during two successive breeding seasons to determine if plasma concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, androgen, and luteinizing hormone (LH) reflect the process of aging.
Males and females were trapped and sampled once between laying of the first and the second eggs in the clutch.
