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 Red-rumped Swallow

The African Red-rumped Swallow is a swallow of the Hirundinidae family, weighing around 26 g. It is identified by its distinctive rufous rump and undertail, and inhabits open country and rocky areas across Africa where it catches insects on the wing.
