PART I

Choosing the right colony is the first of many tasks for Petrochelidon pyrrhonota, the cliff Swallow. As primary homemaker the female investigates existing colonies before she decides where she and her mate should reside.

Male and female build a nest and raise their young together, but sometimes both mate with others, too.
