Notes on the Nesting of the Bank Swallow
In answer to the query of our Editor in the last issue of the CONDOR as to nesting data on the Bank Swallow (Riparia riparia), I submit the following notes from personal observation.
A small colony was nesting in the bluffs near the long wharf, Port Los Angeles, during May and June, 1907. Three pairs were nesting in a bank near a drain ditch about one-fourth mile from Hansen's old slaughter house, Los Angeles, in May, 1907. A large colony was nesting on Dead Man's Island, and in the banks near the lumber yards at San Pedro in April, May, and June, 1908 and 1909. A colony was nesting along the coast near Huntington Beach; observed June 13, 1908, and May 28, 1909.
