In the Northeastern part of the North America, Cliff Swallow populations reached their peak with the peak of farming, and when farming began to decline, so did the swallows; farms provide the habitat this species requires: mud, for nest-building, open fields for foraging, and barns and other outbuildings to which the swallows attached their mud nests, most commonly under the eaves.

Through many years of observation and experimentation we have found that Cliff Swallow breeding success increases with the implementation of management techniques that mimic habitat lost with the decline of agriculture in the Northeast:
