Swallows
The title is "When the swallows come back to Capistrano." It was the biggest hit song of 1939. Glenn Miller may have recorded it first, but the Ink Spots made a big hit with it. San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, California is one of the 21 Franciscan missions built in California 200 years ago. Legend has it that the swallows always come back from South America on March 19, the feast of St. Joseph.
March 19 every year.
Swallows fly to Capistrano between March and October during their annual migration. They usually arrive in late March and depart by early October.
The swallows of Capistrano migrate to Goya, Argentina for the winter months from October to March in search of warmer weather and more abundant food sources. This journey spans over 6,000 miles each way.
