The Antillean palm swift (Tachornis phoenicobia ) is a small swift. It has distinctive black-and-white markings on its underparts, rump, and throat, making it one of the most unmistakable species of swifts in North America.
This species has a large range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 190,000 km2. It is fairly common in its native range in the Greater Antilles of the Caribbean, from lowland Cuba and Isla de la Juventud, the Cayman Islands, Hispaniola (in both the Dominican Republic and Haiti), Puerto Rico, and Jamaica, though accidental vagrants have been observed as far north as the Florida Keys at least twice.
