**Description:**
This beautifully hand-colored lithograph by Magnus von Wright, printed by A. Bortzells Tryckeri, features the Sand Martin (Riparia riparia). The Sand Martin is a small passerine bird with a brown upper body and a white underside, including a distinctive dark band across its chest. Its small size, forked tail, and agile flight make it a skilled insect hunter.
**Habitat and Distribution:**
The Sand Martin, also known as the Bank Swallow in North America, is a migratory bird commonly found near water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. It nests in colonies in sandy banks and cliffs where it excavates tunnels for nesting. The Sand Martin is widely distributed and can be found in various regions during its migratory journeys:
- **Europe:** Breeds across much of Europe, migrating to Africa for the winter.
- **North America:** Found throughout North America, breeding in Canada and the northern United States and wintering in Central and South America.
- **Asia:** Breeds in temperate regions, migrating to southern Asia for the winter.
The Sand Martin is known for its sociable nature and is often seen in large flocks during migration and breeding seasons. This print captures the delicate beauty and characteristic features of the Sand Martin, making it a valuable addition to any ornithological collection.
