Stealth?


No, this is not a Stealth aircraft, but one of the countless swallows that live here on the grounds of COC. These birds are restless, slicing through the desert sky like the jets on Top Gun. They chase each other incessantly, often having battles that begin on high and end near the ground as the birds argue in squeaky, chattering voices while plunging earthward. They do land briefly at the watering hole, where they take a few sips before taking to the skies again. They are graceful aviators and do well even in the briskest of desert winds.
