About These Birds

Black-capped Swallow

クロボウシツバメはグアテマラと隣接するメキシコのチアパスの高地雲霧林とその縁に生息する中米のツバメで、特徴的な黒い頭冠・白い下面・鋼青色の上面を持つ。標高1,500m以上の高地林と林間空地の上空に生息し、空中で飛翔昆虫を捕食する。

Barn Swallow

ツバメは世界で最も広く分布するツバメ科の種で、スズメ目の中でも最長の渡りを行うもののひとつ。北半球全体にわたってその到来が春の訪れを告げ、古代ギリシャから現代の詩に至るまで文化的な言及を生んできた。ツバメは営巣にほぼ完全に人工構造物を利用するようになっている。
