Spotted
A poorly known species of swift from South America, characterized by its dark plumage and a distinctive white hindcollar. It inhabits high-altitude Andean environments.
Where to spot
Found in the Andes of southern Peru and Bolivia, often in high-altitude areas over montane forests and open country. Observations are often sporadic.
How to spot
Look for a dark swift with a noticeable white hindcollar, which may be difficult to see at a distance. Its flight is powerful and direct, and it often occurs singly or in small, loose groups.
When to spot
Observations are infrequent, but generally possible year-round within its known distribution. Best chances are during active foraging periods in daylight.
