Barn Swallow at San Elijo Lagoon

Here’s a Barn Swallow taking a break at San Elijo Lagoon.
Barn Swallows used to nest in caves, but now they make their nests almost exclusively on human-made structures. Speaking of nests, unmated males sometimes kill the nestlings of a mated pair, which can lead to their breakup and a chance to mate with the female.
