About

O andorinhão-da-chaminé (Chaetura pelagica) é um apodídeo altamente aéreo que cria em colônias no leste da América do Norte e inverna na bacia amazônica. Antigamente nidificava em árvores ocas, mas adaptou-se a usar chaminés como locais de nidificação e pouso comunitário. Captura insetos em voo continuo. Voa com batidas de asas rígidas e planadas características. Considerado em declínio devido à modernização das chaminés e diminuição de insetos.
