	Woodswallow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Woodswallows are soft-plumaged, somber-coloured passerine birds found in Australia and the islands nearby.
		Given their moderate size—about the same as a Common Starling—and dull plumage, they are amongst the easiest of birds to observe and recognise.
		Woodswallows are smooth, agile flyers with moderately large, semi-triangular wings.

	Little Woodswallow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Little Woodswallow (Artamus minor), is patchily distributed over much of mainland Australia, avoiding only the driest deserts and the area within about 300 kilometres of the southern coastline, and showing a preference for rugged terrain around inland ranges.
		As its name suggests, at 12 to 14 cm in length it is the smallest of the woodswallows.
		Little Woodswallows soar effortlessly above the treetops or along cliff faces when hunting flying insects—being small, they are easily confused with martins.

	White-browed Woodswallow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The White-browed Woodswallow (Artamus superciliosus) is a moderately-sized passerine bird native to inland Australia.
		Pairs, small parties, and sometimes flocks of thouands wander irregularly around inland Australia, often trending north to winter in the Northern Territory and central Queensland, and south in spring to nest.
		They are uncommon in Western Australia but small numbers regularly associate with flocks of the Masked Woodswallows.

	Birds in Backyards - Black-faced Woodswallow (Artamus cinereus) Fact sheet
		During droughts, the Black-faced Woodswallow may be seen in coastal areas where it is not normally found, such as Kangaroo Island in South Australia or the Illawarra region, New South Wales.
		The Black-faced Woodswallow is found across mainland Australia, mainly west of the Great Dividing Range in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, and is absent from the far south-western corner of Western Australia.
		The Black-faced Woodswallow is found in open country, often far from water, as well as in open woodlands, around lakes and wetlands and in irrigated areas.

	Facts about woodswallow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Given their moderate size—about the same as a Common Starling—and dull plumage, they are amongst the easiest of birds to observe and recognise: in flight, they look very like large, stiff-winged swallows, and like swallows, they eat very else except flying insects.
		They are among the very few passerinee birds that soar, and can often be seen feeding just above the treetops.

		Along the way we saw White-browed Babbler, Dusky Woodswallow and heard the Spotted Quail-thrush calling - although it remained too elusive to see.
		The rare mint-bush Prostanthera cryptandroides had a few pretty mauve flowers out and we smelled the heady scent released when its foliage is touched.
		Other birds seen here included Sacred Kingfisher, Diamond Firetail, Little Eagle, Black-chinned Honeyeater, Little Lorikeet, White-browed Woodswallow, Olive-backed Oriole, and a Painted Button-quail which flushed with a whirr of wings and disappeared into the woodland.
