Spotted
One of the smallest swifts in the Neotropics, the Neotropical Palm Swift is known for its diminutive size and incredibly quick, erratic flight. It is frequently associated with palm trees or open water bodies.
Where to spot
Found in tropical South America, east of the Andes, and parts of Central America.
How to spot
Look for tiny, dark swifts flying very fast and erratically over water, clearings, or near palm trees. Their rapid, jerky movements are distinctive.
When to spot
A year-round resident, active throughout the day, with peaks in activity during the mornings and late afternoons.
