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.
African Plain Martin
The African Plain Martin is a small, brown swallow of the Hirundinidae family, with a wingspan near 20 cm and a weight of just 12 g. It nests in burrows along river banks and lake shores across much of Africa, feeding on insects caught in low, gliding flight over water.
