The Swallows of Capistrano (2000)

Celebrate Swallows Day at Mission San Juan Capistrano and witness the life cycle of the amazing cliff swallows as they return from South America and raise their families. Filmed in 1999, this colony at Saddleback College contained over 400 active nests.

Musical selections by Sajama (SajamaMusic.com) are a perfect accompaniment to the beautiful little birds. This 27-minute film was produced in 2000 and won Honorable Mention Communicator awards in the categories of Environment and Film Scoring.

It was the first production of Avianna Jones, Ph.D., and her production company named to honor the cliff swallows. Visit SwallowCreek.com for more information about the cliff swallows of the Capistrano Valley.
