The Southern Rough-winged Swallow is a common swallow found throughout Central and South America. It is similar to its northern counterpart but often has a rufous wash on the throat.
Where to spot
Open areas, clearings, and along rivers, often near banks suitable for nesting, throughout Central and South America.
How to spot
Look for its plain brown upperparts and often a rufous (rusty) wash on the throat and breast, which can vary in intensity. Observe its direct, fluttering flight. Often perches on wires.
When to spot
Year-round resident in most of its range, though some populations may undertake local movements. Active during daylight hours.

Like other rough-winged swallows, this species has small, hook-like serrations on its outermost primary feather, lending to its unique common name and tactile feature.
