Abstract

We report the first photographic record of the nest and nestling of the Tepui Swift (Streptoprocne phelpsi) on the top of Mount Roraima, in Venezuela. Two adults and one nestling were observed on a nest in September 2017, at an elevation of 2,630 m, at the entrance of the Cueva del Hotel Guacharos (Ojos de Cristal Cave System), making this the highest record in altitude for the species in the Pantepui region.
