Subject: [SFBirds] Cliff Swallows around Crissy Field - request
Hello Presidio area birders,

A visiting birder captured some good images of Cliff Swallows appearing to
be collecting mud for nests on 4/9/26.

Photos can be seen on this checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S319240704

This species is a very localized breeder in SF and since the extirpation of
the Lake Merced Colony some 10 years ago the Presidio is the only place
where they are known to breed in the last few years.

Last year a couple of nests were built on some of the vacant buildings
around Fort Scott but these did not appear to be in use so far this year on
a visit last week and this species remains unconfirmed so far this year.

For anyone birding around Crissy Field/Quartermaster Reach keep an eye out
for Cliff Swallows coming to the marsh at low tide to gather mud and see if
you can track down where they are taking the material too.

Thank you,

Dominik
