The White-winged Swallow is a beautiful swallow found in tropical South America, characterized by its iridescent blue-green upperparts and distinct white patches on its wings.
Where to spot
Lowland open areas, often near large rivers, lakes, and marshes, throughout tropical South America east of the Andes.
How to spot
