Feeding Habits
Spot-fronted Swift, an insectivorous bird, predominantly hunts flying insects mid-air using swift, agile maneuvers. It showcases a unique adaptation for aerial feeding, and typically forages during flight, often at dusk or dawn.
Habitat
Spot-fronted Swift is typically observed in mid-elevation montane forests and occasionally over lowland forests. These habitats range from approximately 300 m to 2200 m in elevation, often encompassing areas near the base of the Andes. The species tends to favor the dense canopy and moist conditions provided by these forested regions, which provide ample foraging opportunities.
