Swallow

In days gone by, before folks understood migration, they explained the Swallows' disappearance in winter and return in Spring by suggesting they hibernated.

In late autumn, at dusk, the Swallows gathered at lakes - swooping in and out of the reeds and skimming across the water. But soon after, they vanished. The people believed they had dived to the bottom of the frozen lake, or into the mud banks at the water's edge to sleep for winter. Months later, as the ice thawed and the days warmed in spring, they returned.
