Swallows Leave Capistrano Earlier Than Usual
Crowds gathered at Mission San Juan Capistrano this Sunday for San Juan Day hoping to see the swallows depart as legend says they should. Elva Aguilar, a mission historian, notes the cold weather caused the birds to leave later than in past years, and none appeared on site. The departure legend dates to the mission’s 1776 founding, with annual events begun in 1933 after a newspaper editor suggested celebrating the birds’ migration.
