And from the research that you've looked into, what are some of the threats that bank swallows face?
5:30
I mean, a lot of it is just really the insect population.
5:34
They might be considered an indicator species where as the insect population has declined, so has the population of all aerial insectivores.
5:43
So bank swallows, along with anything that hunts insects, their populations are declining.
5:50
One of the threats to them is that they basically more or less need erosion to live.
5:55
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.
6:06
So then they removed the bluff remediation, basically allowing the bluff to erode more.

Like, how did you get video of what was going on inside a bank swallow's nest?
