The Mangrove Swallow is a tropical swallow found along coastal and riverine areas of Central America and northern South America. It is characterized by its iridescent blue-green upperparts and a white line above the lores.
Where to spot
Coastal mangroves, estuaries, lagoons, and slow-moving rivers with overhanging vegetation throughout Central America and northern South America.
How to spot
Look for its iridescent blue-green back, white underparts, and the thin white line just above the eye (superciliary line). Observe its graceful flight, often flying low over water.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during daylight hours, foraging over water.
