The Southern Rough-winged Swallow is primarily found in Central and South America. It inhabits open areas and forest clearings, with a preference for nesting in grass-lined cavities of various types such as holes in banks, walls, or abandoned kingfisher and jacamar nests. Notably, this species is non-colonial in its nesting habits. The clutch typically consists of 3–6 white eggs, with the incubation and fledging periods spanning approximately 16–18 days and 13 days, respectively. These birds primarily forage for insects in flight, typically flying low with a deliberate style. the Southern Rough-winged Swallow is classified as Least Concern with a global population over 50 million mature individuals. Photographed in Minca, Colombia.
