Banded Martin

The Banded Martin is found in open habitats such as farmland, grassland and savannah, usually near water. It breeds across Africa from Cameroon and Zaire to Ethiopia south to the Cape in South Africa, although it is absent from the driest regions of western South Africa and southern Namibia. The southern nominate subspecies of South Africa and Zimbabwe, is migratory, wintering further north, particularly in the west, where it can move sometimes as far as Gambia. R. c. xerica also leaves its drier breeding grounds in Botswana and northern Namibia in the southern winter. Other subspecies undertake local or altitudinal movements often dependent on the rainfall pattern.

The Banded Martin is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

house and compartment each banded martin was nesting in, and now was feeding young at. To capture the first bird, we decided to try a fish net. First we lowered the winch-operated house about 6 feet. This brought the top of the house down from about 17 feet to 11 feet. Then we waited a few minutes for the parent martins to settle down and resume feeding at this lower height. More

We do know that the oldest banded martin was 13-years old and documented by the USF&W Service's Banding Lab in Laurel, MD, the official keeper of banding records, some years ago. So, we do know that some martins can live beyond 13 years. We really don't know how long martins actually live but as more and more martins are banded by different groups across the breeding range, the ages of martins will become more and more apparent to us as these studies become documented.
