Media notes
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cliff_Swallow/sounds ---- SONGS While courting and nesting, Cliff Swallows sing a series of guttural grating sounds and squeaks, usually lasting up to 6 seconds. CALLS Their most common call is a soft chur. They also give a squeak when foraging and a purr-like alarm call when predators approach the colony.
