Bank Swallow, Riparia riparia


Bank Swallow
 Bank Swallows nest colonially in burrows they dig in sandy vertical surfaces -- banks of rivers and lakes, and the
sandy cliffs that back some beaches, like Cove Beach at Ano Nuevo on the central California coast, where a small
group of these birds set up housekeeping in Spring 2013, giving me my first chance to photograph this species.
