Questions travellers ask
A record means a host has seen the Blue Swallow on the property or nearby. It is never a guarantee of a sighting.
What is the Blue Swallow?
The blue-and-white swallow is a passerine bird that breeds from Nicaragua south throughout South America, except in the deserts and the Amazon Basin. The southern race is migratory, wintering as far north as Trinidad, where it is a regular visitor. The nominate northern race may have bred on that island.
