Swallows are an enjoyable species of wildlife to have around the yard. In addition to their entertaining acrobatics they are wonderful bug eaters, especially for mosquitos here in Alaska. The Violet Green swallow and tree swallow migrate to southcentral Alaska around May 1st. In the wild they chose to nest in abandoned woodpecker nest sites but these are relatively rare and so the birds will take up residence in anything that meets their requirements.

Developing open space often negatively impacts wildlife,
but for the Cliff Swallow this was not the case! Because
of their preference for building nests on vertical surfaces
like cliffs, this swallow has benefited by suburbia, as it now
utilizes man-made structures like bridges and buildings.
In fact, there are more Cliff Swallows today than when the
pioneers settled the west.
Cliff Swallows are usually found near water as they use
mud to build their nests. They take this mud in their mouth
to their nest location. It is here that they build a tubular shaped
nest and fill it with feathers and grass. Often the swallows will
build their nests in large colonies. One colony consisted of
over 3,700 nests!

San Juan Capistrano was known as the “Jewel of the Missions,” and was founded November 1, 1776, by Father Junipero Serra. It was a pretentious establishment with many workshops, loom rooms, tallow vats, etc. It had the most important and pretentious stone church of the whole chain of Missions founded by Serra. In 1819, there were over 31,000 animals, cattle, sheep, horses, mules, goats and pigs on the livestock rolls, owned by the Mission, and in 1812, the year of the disastrous earthquake, there were 1361 Indian “neophytes” under the care of the padres. (It is widely known in California that the natives were treated like slaves, and were actually locked indoors at night).

The barn swallow is a slender, elegant bird. Its back, wings and tail are midnight blue, its breast and belly russet. The face is russet too, save for a black mask across the eyes; the male reminds me of a raffish bandit, wearing a sporty vest under his black tie and tails.

On December 31, 2000, I went on an expedition up a ladder to examine two barn swallow nests. The nests are right outside my front door, on opposite corners of my family’s front porch, here in Gallup, New Mexico. My original plan was to take the nests apart to see what items the swallows had used for their nests. But earlier in December, when I started to read about barn swallows, I learned how much work is put into the nests, and I decided not to take the nests apart. Instead, I examined the nests from a ladder.
