Petrochelidon pyrrhonota, the American Cliff Swallow, is distinguished by the more well-known Hirundo rustica, the Barn Swallow, by a short, square tail, and also the presence of white on the forehead.

These swallows were nesting alongside barn swallows in similar nests, which appeared to be made out of mud. They appeared at a quick glance like old bee or wasp nests.
