Photo of a fork-tailed palm-swift high in the air, made by Peter Reslon in Suriname in 2002. It is often seen circling over or near areas with palms (like stands of the Moriche palms in wet savannna near Zanderij airport where this photo was taken). In those trees it will also make its nest.
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
