White-breasted Woodswallow

Artamus leucorynchus

Description:

This woodswallow's soft-plumage is charcoal grey apart from the white underparts that give the species its English and scientific names. Despite its brush-tipped tongue, usually associated with nectar feeders, it catches insects on the wing. The White-breasted Woodswallow has large, pointed wings and is very agile in powered and gliding flight. This is a nomadic species, following the best conditions for flying insects, and often roosting in large flocks.

Habitat:

This bird lives at Tulsa Zoo, Tulsa, OK, USA.
