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.

Black-and-rufous Swallow

The Black-and-rufous Swallow is a distinctive swallow of the miombo woodland and open areas in East and Central Africa. It has glossy black upperparts and rich rufous-chestnut underparts and throat. It feeds on aerial insects, hawking over open woodland and water, and breeds in small colonies.
