Description
SPOT-FRONTED SWIFT
Cypseloides cherriei
Rare in Ecuador (Marín 1993, Ridgely & Greenfield 2001) and considered Data Deficient at both global (IUCN 2023) and national levels (Freile et al. 2019).
We observed the species regularly in small numbers and obtained photographs, typically late in the day, as swifts made regular movements from the south-east to north-west, perhaps returning from the lowlands to nesting or roosting sites at higher elevations on Volcán Sumaco. C. cherriei was typically seen with other swifts including the more numerous White-collared Streptoprocne zonaris and Chestnut-collared Swifts S. rutilus.
