Xcaret NuñezHOST
And from the research that you've looked into, what are some of the threats that bank swallows face?

David BusseyGUEST
They might be considered an indicator species where as the insect population has declined, so has the population of all aerial insectivores.

David BusseyGUEST
So bank swallows, along with anything that hunts insects, their populations are declining.

David BusseyGUEST
One of the threats to them is that they basically more or less need erosion to live.

David BusseyGUEST
Like they've done studies in California where they did some bluff remediation along the coast and bank swallow population wasn't doing too well.

David BusseyGUEST
So then they removed the bluff remediation, basically allowing the bluff to erode more.
