Black-collared swallows, Inírida river, Colombia At the time of seeing these they came across as a common sight given their great numbers, but they're a pretty specific species constrained to rivers mostly, where they often feed in groups from the safety of mid-river drift wood, as seen here. They're constantly cleaning themselves, so it's hard to get them to "pose" :) Black-collared swallow,Colombia,Fall,Geotagged,Guainía,Inírida,Pygochelidon melanoleuca,South America,World Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
