Spotted
Sometimes considered a subspecies of the Antillean Palm Swift, the Cuban Palm Swift is a small swift primarily found in Cuba. It shares the characteristic aerial lifestyle, feeding on insects while in flight.
Where to spot
Primarily restricted to Cuba and potentially a few nearby islands.
How to spot
Scan for fast-flying, small swifts near palm trees, especially where they congregate to feed or roost. Their rapid, direct flight is typical.
When to spot
Year-round resident, active during daylight hours, particularly visible when foraging for insects.
Like its close relatives, this swift exhibits a strong dependence on palm trees for both nesting and roosting sites.
