BOTD: Cliff Swallow
Photo: Becky Matsubara
"This swallow is probably far more common today than when the Pilgrims landed. Originally it built its jug-shaped mud nests on the sides of cliffs. However, the sides of barns and the supports of bridges provided sheltered sites that were far more widespread than the natural ones. Taking advantage of these artificial locations, the species has invaded many areas where it never nested before. Although it is continuing to spread in the east, it is still more common in the west, where practically every culvert and highway bridge seems to have its own Cliff Swallow colony."

Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota)
After years of trying I finally got a decent picture of one of these guys.
Absolute nightmare to photograph in flight, they're so small and they move SO FAST, the camera autofocus just can't keep up and tries to focus on the background instead.
So the best way I've found is to just focus on their nests and wait for birds to fly onto the screen and hope that the autofocus works fast enough lmao.
#Not Pets#Wildlife Photography#Cliff Swallow#Hopefully I can go out again tomorrow evening and try for better shots.

Introductory Posting
Greetings foes, friends and others. The islands of Hertford and Ciboux are the component islands of the Bird Islands Wildlife Management Area. They are located approximately 4-5 kilometres from Cape Dauphin, Victoria County, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, North America, Earth. The Bird Islands are located at 46.376°N, 60.384°W, with an altitude of 0 - 20 metres and a total area of 10.89 square kilometres. Hertford Island is approximately 1.1 kilometres long an 120 metres wide, while Ciboux Island is approximately 1.6 kilometres long and 120 metres wide.
The Bird Islands have the largest colony of Great Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) in North America. The Bird Islands also have the greatest concentrations of Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla), Razorbills (Alca torda) and Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) within the province of Nova Scotia. They also have many other bird species including Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus), Black Guillemots (Cepphus grylle), Leach's Storm Petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous), Spotted Sandpipers (Actitis macularius), Cliff Swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota), Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus), Greater Black-backed Gulls (Larus marinus), Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias), and Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) as well as animals which are not birds such as the Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus). The flora consists of shrubs as well as areas of grass and other forbs.
Hertford Island is currently owned by the Nova Scotia Nature Trust (previously by the Nova Scotia Bird Society), while Ciboux Island is owned by the province of Nova Scotia and the federal government of Canada. The name Ciboux is from the word Cibou, from the Mi’kmaq sipu, meaning river. The name Hertford is most likely named after one of the many other places, people and other things named Hertford.
The blog is not legally the official blog for either of the islands of Hertford or Ciboux.
