The Bank Swallow is a small bird, and is the smallest North American swallow species. It has a brown back, a white belly, and a white chin. Despite having a white stomach, this swallow’s wings are dark on the underside. It also has a dark band on its breast.
The Bank Swallow faces a number of threats, including loss of breeding and foraging habitat. This is caused by the construction of dams and the conversion of pasture into cropland. These birds are also facing food loss, as pesticides are killing the insects that make up their diet.
The Bank Swallow is protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act (1994). They’re also protected under acts in Quebec, British Columbia, New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories, and Saskatchewan.
Canada has committed to the goal of protecting 30% of lands, ocean, and freshwater in Canada by 2030. This goal will help protect ecosystems, restore habitats, and fight climate change. All these things are a step in protecting Canada’s at-risk animals—so let’s hold the federal government to their promise.
Hello nature life wilderness is the world’s envy. It’s our duty to keep our true north strong and green.
