Habitat

Historically, breeding habitat consisted of mountainous areas and seacoasts with cave and rock crevices for nesting. Currently, found in agricultural areas, cities, suburbs, and along highways. Breeding habitat typically has an open habitat component for foraging (Brown and Brown 1999), frequently near water (AOU 1983).
