BANK SWALLOW 



The Bank Swallow {Riparia riparia riparia) breeds over most of North 

 America, north to northern Alaska and northern Ungava (Quebec); south to 

 southern California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and North Carolina. It is, 

 however, very local in summer throughout the southern part of its breeding 

 range. Its migration route is chiefly through Mexico and Central America, 

 as it is of scarcely more than casual occurrence in the West Indies. Its winter 

 home is in South America.
