Description: Cliff Swallow ( petrochelidon pyrrhonota) with the early makings of a nest. A number of cliff swallows were building their structures on this wall. Shot at ISO800 on my E520. Most cliff swallow nests are under eaves in less-than-ideal lighting. I'm also careful to keep my distance from nesting birds, so keeping all of that in mind, a cliff swallow in process. <a href="http://www.thefreequark.com/2010/05/the-swallows-400-miles-north-of-capistrano/" rel="nofollow">Blog post</a> related to this photo.
