Introduction
Not much is known about the migratory patterns and exact range of Bahama Swallows. We currently do not have an exact or updated estimate on the population size of this species.
Despite the work by Allen (1996), the breeding biology of the Bahama Swallow still is not well known.
There is no information on lifespan, survivorship, diseases and body parasites or population regulation.
