Cliff Swallows breed in large colonies. They build conical mud nests and lay 3-6 eggs. The natural nest sites are on cliffs, preferably beneath overhangs, but man-made structures are now the principal locations for breeding. Female Cliff Swallows are known to lay eggs in and move previously laid eggs into the nests of other birds within the colony.

very cool Thanks!
Woah, that’s a mouthful! Amazing photos!
great series!
Awesome photos. I suggest adding your name (logo) to your photos.
Thanks for the great comments everyone. I have thought about putting my logo on my photos, but I think I will hold off until someone uses one without my permission and then I will have to rethink the matter. I knew I was taking a chance when I put them up but I get pleasure from people enjoying them.
Wonderful set of photos, I have never seen these guys before.
