Cliff swallows, nesting

An animation by Jessica Hiemstra (drawings) and Paul David Esposti (photography and editing) with music composed and mixed by Tristan Zaba and vocals by Tristan Zaba and Mckenzie Warriner. These are drawings of cliff swallows in summer under the Humber street bridge in Etobicoke. Cliff swallows build nests out of mud and eat flying insects. You can see them, darting and feeding on swarming insects under the bridge in Etobicoke from mid-late April to mid-late August.
