Cliff Swallow

This is a Cliff Swallow peeping out from its nest made from mud. Cliff Swallows nest in groups, building their homes right next to each other. Cliff Swallows can be recognized by the white marking on their heads. These birds fly to warm areas of South America in the winter time. This picture was taken at Shoreline Park.
