Feeding Habits
Chestnut-collared Swift are aerial insectivores that feed on flying insects, including ants, termites, beetles, bugs, and wasps, by catching them mid-flight with agile maneuvers, showcasing their adaptation to an aerial hunting lifestyle.
Habitat
The chestnut-collared Swift is commonly found in a variety of forested environments including humid montane forests, pine-oak forests, and lowland evergreen forests. They are also seen in semideciduous forests and partially open areas which may extend to villages and towns. Geographically, they inhabit broader regions of the Neotropics. These birds forage in these habitats and are known to breed on cliffs and rocky grottos, exhibiting a consistent preference for areas in close proximity to water.
