Why it matters
The Fork-tailed Palm Swift (*Tachornis squamata*) is named for its distinctive, deeply notched tail and its specialized relationship with palm trees, where it frequently builds its nest. Its pointed, aerodynamic wings allow for remarkably agile flight, a common characteristic among swifts that spend the majority of their lives on the wing.
