About These Birds
Black-capped Swallow
The Black-capped Swallow is a Central American swallow restricted to highland cloud forests and their edges in Guatemala and adjacent Chiapas, Mexico, with a distinctive black cap, white underparts, and steel-blue upperparts. It inhabits the airspace over highland forests and forest clearings at elevations above 1,500 meters, feeding on flying insects caught in aerial sallies.
